Visiting my Childhood....

Well, the darn sewing machine still isn't fixed so the album is on hold for now as I was going to sew around my pockets and connect the pages too.  I'll have to go over to our shop this weekend and stitch them up.

 

So, I thought I'd share some photos I took recently... 

for various sorted reasons I hadn't been over to my Grandma's place in a few years now. (long story you don't want to hear).  Anyway, I was there a week ago and took some pics.

 

My grandpa (now past) and dad built their "new" house about 30 years ago or so but the "old house" is still there.  This is the house we went for holidays, summer vacations, birthdays, weekends, etc.  It was the place that the whole family got together and well did family stuff.

 

I know it looks like a haunted house now but I can still see it how it used to look as a child.....lots of fond memories.

 

There used to be an enclosed porch where the tree is growing up on the right side.

 

 

 

 

 

Door to the basement...

a very scary place when you're a kid.

 

 

 

 

This is the front of the house, what you can see of it. 

The evergreens were just small things when we were kids, now they obscure the entire front of the house.

 

 

Here is the plaque (you can barely see it in the above picture) that tells who built it and when.

My grandparents moved in either 59 or 60.

 

 

And here's my French Grandma...

 

 

And some of her flowers blooming right now....

 

 

wild roses

 

 

 

 

So there you go...

Do you have a place from your childhood that brings back a flood of memories?

We'd love to hear about them!
