Going way back....

I got a couple pretty cool pictures handed to me this morning. My Great Aunt is here visiting from California and she gave me a couple pictures she had of my house. They were taken in 1942 or 1943. These are probably the coolest pictures I've ever seen of my old house!
My Great Aunt Patty is the little girl in this picture. She was 9 or 10 when this was taken. The man in the hat in the right side of the photo is my Great Great Grandpa Brown. Burt was his name. The man standing back by the water pump was my Great Great Uncle Lafayette. As you can see, the house hasn't changed much.
Pictured here are Maud Brown, my Great Great Grandma. We aren't sure who the lady in the middle is and the girl on the right is my Great Great Aunt Mae. Aunt Mae owned the farm before Craig and Shirley. But I just HAD to share these. I think old pictures like this are so awesome!
A couple other things that went on at the house this week was that my ceiling fans and light fixtures were installed. They aren't anything fancy but they go great with my dark wood work.
The other thing that has been going on is the installation of my new railing downstairs. Bob, who works for Travis, is building it from scratch. So far I'm very impressed with his work.
Plans this week...hopefully, hopefully, HOPEFULLY finishing up electrical work and getting started on cleaning woodwork. I just haven't got my accomplished since the weather has been nice. We have been getting things ready to go to the field and the cows are still calving. Those 2 things have taken up alot of my time. I hope everybody enjoyed the nice weekend weather and have a super week!!
