My piece of paradise

This was my grandfathers house and old barn. His name was Edward Thomas. He owned all of this land and gave my parents 11 acres, Sharon and Floyd Branchfield. His mother lived there for a while, Pauline Chappy and his wife, Nidas Thomas. He grew vegetables in the garden and raised pure bread Alaskan Huskies. When I was 5, I threw my mothers diamond watch down his radiator and it was never found.

I thought the house was built or finished in August 1973. In all of the home videos, Mom is pregnant with me, so Sherry was already born into this house. I'd like to remember the home for what it was...the house that built me...and when love of family was abound.

Oops...this was meant for the aforementioned property and not my Grandfather's. :)
