small town america at its best

Were staying in this sweet town of Waitsburg, population

2,000. It's half way between the two towns were visiting. Were

staying in a really nice house, complete with bikes,

and hot tub.

The girls have been in 7th heaven riding bikes all around

town all by themselves! No traffic and very

safe.

built in 1890

This is my Ba-Ba's house.(gg).My grandma was

raised here and my mother spent her 9th grade

year here. It was sad to see it empty and in

disrepair. It's in foreclosure and we talked to the

real estate man who said it'd probably go for under 100,000.

I had just graduated from High School when

Ba-Ba died and would have given

anything to have bought her house.

(what do you think honey?)

Our family came to this area in the 1870's most from

Illinois. This is wheat farming country and they were wheat

growers , involved in all aspects of it. It's one thing

I love about this area...the rolling wheat hills, green this time

of year and golden in the fall.

This is the High School my grandma and ggrandma graduated

from.

Lily was ready to go home.

Ba-Ba's tombstone along with many others.

Ba-Ba's yard was covered with pink poppies, I've

never seen a pink poppie. We collected alot of seed

heads hopefully we'll get some for our gardens.
