Visiting At Home

Well we have been home for 5days now visiting our family in Union. John has been busy showing his photos of Afghanistan. Also we have been planting fruit trees. We planted pecans, Apple, Figs, peach, pear, and many more so we have been working hard on our land. We are doing it now so they will be grown and producing fruit when we come back to build our home. John plans on retiring in 15 yrs and after That he says he's going to live the good life working his land and selling fresh fruit. While I sit on the front porch shelling pea or cleaning corn. Man I'll be glad when those days get here. NO MORE MOVING! Yay!!! We have everything planned out and we just stand on our land an can already see our home and our fruit trees blooming Life is good. That's what John and I see when we look around our place.
We have decide it will have a sign above the driveway. It will say:

The Old Home Place
      Skinner
   Est: ( the year his Great grandmother bought the property)
That's how we plan to honor his family and all the years of work that went into it.
I believe it is good to know where you come from and how things came to be. I also believe that is whats wrong with the world today. People have forgotten the years before when Families mattered to each other, They worked to together and prayed together. You got your food out of the land and hand made your clothes , Line dryed everything. Homemade jams & jelly's to Homemade soap. I love those days. An if you ever see the inside of my home you will see I love old country and primitive stuff.

We got this Pie Chest When my Husbands Great Aunt passed away.It belong to her Mother In law , so we figured it's almost 100 years old if not older.  It was in awful shape. My father in law wanted to throw it out. So I took it and restored it myself. It is one of my most prized piece.
