I supposed I’m lulled into the delusion things will stay the same because I am caring for my grandparents’ farm and it is just as it’s always been. It’s my comfort place. I’m actually sitting here now in the chair where Grandma always sat, looking out the same window at the same view. Not much has changed up this old holler and I like it that way. I know someday this will be gone too, but for now I will cherish each moment. ❤️

Mom kept a cute little ship lap New England salt box neat as a pin and loaded with flowers for 15 years afer Daddy passed. Something happened and the arched and arbored porch got ripped off the house and it got painted that ugly chocolate brown that’s popular now. It looks horrible. I only saw it on Zillow, but I had that ‘punch in the gut.’ Quite the shock. All we can do is forge ahead!

Whenever I’m back that way we like to visit the old home place. There was a huge house, two barns, a garage and machine shed. Fun to explore and bring back old memories. But last year when I was there, every single building was gone. Everything was so overgrown you couldn’t even tell where things had been. It was like a punch in the gut. The only thing remaining was the cement watering tank that our cows drank from. So I know what you mean about your dad’s house.

The man that bought it when everything was auctioned off wanted pasture land, and did it. It’s in Oklahoma, and was once open prairie—-and is, again. Still made me so sick to walk to where the house had been, and I just wept. I get what you felt.
