My Old Farm House

two story abode- old white wooden planks and beams… oh how I loved you strong structured built frame - cool basement to store; protect… a great hiding place vast playroom closet – just right for a huge playhouse… imagination wood stove radiates - prepares meals and heats downstairs… sore bone therapy family room collage - old radio plays music… period to relate bedtime for four kids - one bed keeping all cozy… north room harbors ghosts Copyright © 2015 By Caryl S.

Thank you Connie. As far as I remember, they never really caused any big trouble, just made noise at night. Caryl

Well Andrea, as far as being kids and hearing thinks in the night from that room made us believers... Guests refused to sleep in that room, always took the kid's room and made us sleep in there. It still is a good memory though... Glad you enjoyed~ Caryl
