Update, Renewal, House, Rock Wall

Yesterday I told you about 

my luck with the SUV. That

was written on Sat. but just

got around to posting on Friday. 

UPDATE~

So it was hauled in on Sat.

It was late and dude at the 

auto shop told me they would

look at it on Monday. However

they did not look at it till

Tuesday. Called and told me it

was the fuel pump. I told them

to fix it. However they did not

get to it on Tuesday. It was late

Wed. when they got it in to fix

it and had it ready. I told them I 

would pick it up Thursday cause

I had to find a ride there. Problem

was when they put the pump on 

it worked, stopped, worked, stopped.

They went over it for hours to find

a burnt wire. All fixed now and running

great. They went ahead and no charge

fixed my tire. It had a 3 inch screw

in it. 

 

Worked a small wedding on Tuesday.

Vow renewal. Married 20 years but

when hubs was told he had leukemia

the bride wanted to do the renewal. 

Home across the street. This home

was where Doris lived. Doris is the

woman that past away in March. 

A friend of her son's bought it and

is redoing it. Men were working

there the other day and I asked

could I go in. That I grew up

playing in this house. WOW....

I remember that house having

big rooms but when I went in 

I realized that was the memory

of what the eyes of a child saw.

Those rooms were not at all

big.

Here in the back yard

a tree has been removed.

Right behind those wood

chips was a swing set.

Dana and I would swing 

there and turn flips

over the bars like we

were in the circus.

Back behind Doris house is

a stone wall. It actually travels

behind about four or five houses.

On the other side of that is 

the backyard of the houses on 

the other street. That wall has

been there since Doris and her

hubs moved there in 1965. We played

back there. 

The guy up the street and I have

been trying to research the

hood. We found out that it 

was farm land belonging to 

the Sutton' s and the Hills. 

Before them I am not sure

who owned it or how far

back their family went. 

Of course, years and years

ago it belonged to Pres Andrew

Jackson. Best we can figure the

wall was probably put there 

by the farm families. 

I love how the families that have

come and gone here have let

the wall remain and they build their

fences back away so not to mess

with the rock. 

I think next we will dive into

the Hills and the Sutton's to 

see what we can find. 

Interesting being able to look

back and stand in the same place

you did as a child. 

thanks for coming by,

Pam
