Historical Houses

On our way back from our camping trip to Utah, Dad (Grandpa), Jimmy and I stopped to see a few of the old houses that are significant in our family history! The only camera I had was the one on my cell phone, but they didn't turn out too bad, considering!

This one is the old Greene family home where Mom (Grandma) was born and where she lived until she married Dad. Dad says that it pretty much looks the same as it always did. Grandpa Greene lived there until he died in 1979. Ahh, the memories! Grandpa Greene with his freezer full of fish and slightly soft apples from the cellar.






This is the house right next door to Grandpa Greene's, where Mom and Dad first met. Dad's roommate had been invited to dinner and asked Dad to come along.

Actually, Mom's best friend lived in this house, and she told Mom that they had two new boarders, one with red hair and one with "oh, the bluest eyes." She asked Mom which one she wanted, and Mom said she's take the one with the red hair. And she did!


Dad's memories of that night were much more vague. He said they hardly noticed the giggling teenie-boppers who paraded through. Can't you just see it?
