Our house in Terrace.....originally.....and '54 Meteor

You know, I never for one minute felt poor when I was growing up but boy, when you look at this picture of our house............talk about trashy looking!  My brothers used to pee out of the window on the right - mother wondered why the roof was discoloured........hahaha. 

When Bruthie sent this to me I was hoping the old car in the photo was our 1939 Dodge but alas, it's a Packard that Stan Kerr gave him. 

The old shed was really neat - in the winter we had enough snow that we'd slide down the roof onto the drifts - it was a ton of fun.  And we'd play Anti, Anti Eye Over (have NO idea how to spell that!) in the summers - throwing a ball from one side of the roof to the kid on the other side.  You can see there are 2 doors on the left of the shed - that was for car parking and my sister thinks father sometimes kept a team of horses in it.  On the right side of the shed was a sort of workshop - there was a long work bench with a huge stone grinding wheel - it was fun to turn the handle and get it going really fast.  Because it weighed so much it would spin for a long time.  And then near the door was a great big heavy metal vice.  The shed was made out of cedar.  It was a really neat old thing.  Had home made skis stored in the rafters.

 This next picture shows our 1954 Meteor - it was traded in when father bought the 1957 Chev and shows on the invoice a few posts back.  In this picture:  my cousin Terry, me, cousin Pat, and Bruthie.  Auntie Sophia, Uncle Chuck, Pat and Terry used to come and visit often in the summer and we sure loved having them.  You can see their car, complete with roof carrier, in the background.  (Nice boots, Bruthie)

Cheerio,
