Grandma's house

Thank you for the good times...
  • that when we have the tv, the heater, and a couple lights on in the living room the circuits cut short and we need to go outside to flip the breaker...
  • thank you for the fun times me and ryan chased each other around the house(cause the house goes in a direct circle)...
  • the cool flour sifter that grandpa built into the cabinets...
  • the motion light that came on in the middle of the night...
Thank you for the cool key we received when renting this house!
(this is the actual key grandma used!)

  • thank you for the rather small bathroom where you could do the 3 B's.... bathe, go to the bathroom and brush your teeth all at the same time
  • thanks for leaving some cool gadgets behind, such as the the old blow dryer made completely out of metal, your old cash book that you recorded every dollar spent, and the fun cake decorator that i use today as well as the cute dessert spoons...
  • the window in the bedroom that used to whistle when the wind was blowing... (kinda scary)
  • the tools left in the shed and the jars grandpa made to sort his nails... such a neat idea!
  • the empty jars left in the cellar from the 70's! So cool to look back...

  • the time when we discovered that there once was a chimney in this house
  • that under the carpet there was wood floors that grandpa did by hand..
  • that there is a basement... its called a cellar
  • the front door that mumbles when a big, loud truck drives by...
  • thank you for the kitchen sink that held a few dishes and then was time to hand wash them... that was a humbling experience! (considering i had to beg ry to do them)

Grandma were glad we had the opportunity to rent this house and discover the wonderful things behind it... Also the good things that come from living so close to family we will miss that! We had a wonderful and exciting adventurous year in this house! Thank you for keepin us warm!
