Her property land then was turned into a new parking lot for the church, and the church added on a addition. Her house is so different now.. many changes over the years. Always been sad about all of that.
Anyway... I went to the auction hoping to find a memory.
I did!!!! Found a old print of the church with my grandparents home next to it!!
Yes I got it!!! So happy.. felt like a gift from grandma. It is very old, was glued onto a heavy backing, so a few wrinkles in it, but love love love it. Wasn't framed, but bought a old frame there also that turned out to be a perfect fit. It is 16 x 20.
Here it is.. my new treasure. Grandma's house is towards the back of the church on the left side. OH! And my cousin was there. Haven't seen her in a few years. Another gift.... a wonderful day.

Oh what a wonderful gift!!! I just love nostalgic things. The picture is just lovely - I know you will treasure it and the memories from looking at your grandparents house! It was a great day, wasn't it!
