Your story reminded me of our home. Various times we have told people where we live only to hear stories about the great parties that used to be thrown here by previous owners. I love the idea that we are simply part of the story of the house and community we live in. It puts life in a different perspective.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527178868601047846.post-37590235699675539062011-11-12T16:43:40.953-06:002011-11-12T16:43:40.953-06:00I'm a lover of history.

That picture above just says open field parties!!:) They are the best and take me back to high school on the farms and backyards in Wisconsin. Hopefully, a random picture will pop up from the past for you to imagine even more:) I've had that happen only once, but it's quite exciting when it happens:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.com
