From Humble Beginnings

What does this ram-shackle of a little house have to do with me, you might ask.  Well there is a story behind everything.

Whenever I think of our house I can't help hearing this beautiful, yet really simple song by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.  

• Somethings are just timeless.  
• Sometimes the simplest things have the most depth, the most meaning.  
• Sometimes new isn't always better.

 Our House by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me

Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cozy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

Our house is a very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And our la,la,la, la,la, la, la, la, la, la, la.....

Our house is a very, very fine house

This cottage was built in the mid -1920's.

These photos were taken in 1982.

This simple little house raised a family long before we came along.

This is only a peek into the past.  Come back later this week to hear a little more of this story and to see a few more shocking photos.
