Friday, May 15th, Reminisce...

I cruise Facebook many days to see what my family and friends are up to and today I found some excellent pics that my nephew Peter posted. The artistic quality and views are stunning and they tugged at my heart strings:
This is where I grew up and where my dad still lives. He has lived there since he was two and this fall, he will be 84. There were three generations of Salzman's raised in this house and it holds many memories. It was built in 1910, so next year, will be 100 years old.
My dad has a very hard time getting rid of anything, so hence the property is full of treasures, both usable and those long past their expiration date. This was the car that is my earliest memory. Fixed up, it would be a gem, but I fear the rust has taken over. Last summer, while my sister and I were there, we could hear howling at night. Come to find out, the dug out area is a den for coyotes and when Peter was there, he found quite a few pups.
This was a dairy farm until 1978.
Now, it is primarily corn and beans. Dad no longer does the active farming, but leases the land to a neighbor.
I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my past. Memories abound....
