'WHOOPS' - A BIT COCK-EYED...ANYWAY, BREEZY'S HOME - BUILT IN 1861.

The top picture that's crooked, is of Breezy's home as it looked around 1937. The wind-mill was the source of their electricity (rare to have one that didn't just pump water).
The bottom picture was taken by me in 2003; in 2008, the home was burned since the farm and land were sold for a land-fill some years prior to 2003.
My daughter salvaged those shutters - repainted them; now they hang on her home in Ohio.
This farm was prosperous; it was one of the largest beef-producing farms in the state. Breezy-Marie and her twin sister took grand-champion honors at the state fair; their brother also garnered this honor more than once. When they weren't picking up the top ribbon; they came in second each time as reserve-champions with their Hereford calves.
My memories are many of this place - we'll reuse this picture again as we build this 'blog'...the landmark looks barren now that the home has been destroyed, but at least it 'lives here' - and in all of our memories.
