And here are the last two from my other place. They are of the house which we remodeled 3 times over the 50 years. The house was built in 1912. When we move in in 1994 there was no water to the house, and there was a light bulb hanging down from the ceiling in each of the 8 rooms. I couldn't locate the photo of the house (I went and looked through another album and found an old black & white of the house in 1944).

The large tree back of the house are American Elms, beautiful trees. The tree to the left and in front of the house is a 100 year old (now) apricot tree. Wonderful tasting fruit but had to be canned immediately or made into jam. In the other photo a gazebo is just barely visible. I really hated to leave that gazebo, I had it built by a carpenter friend, took a long time especially for the roof since it is octagonal in design and so most of the wood shingles had to be trimmed.
