oh chickie ''our old house'' is heaven
what an interesting way to present a photo
it gives composite picture
can it be possible, you had your own dock, your own boat
and house right on water
lol that was always my dream
it's a nice house too
I bet from those high windows you could look out at water
there is nothing so pretty as water
thank you for photo chickie
Love, Palo

Yep.. the kids grew up on the pond.. We added a pool in the back yard, but we always had a boat and the kids all water skiid, rafted etc.

The neighborhood was a great place for them to grow up.. All the neighbors stuck together, partied together and helped each other. The houses were always passed down to the younger generation or the kids moved into the neighborhood.. We really hated to leave it. It was a camp type neighborhood.. We lived there 35 years..and we still go down on occasion to see them all.. We did learn of a couple recent deaths tho that made us sad..

We saw lots of storms off that back porch, because we all loved bad weather and lightening storms.. We used to have storm parties.. and of course we had some floods..but never bothered our house.. The Blizzard of 78 was a blast in that neighborhood let me tell ya.. lol We had some fun..

The people that bought our house are a lot like us and have lots of company and parties.. They have a party boat now, and I took the pics off it.
