The photo is one of us in front of the first house we lived in when we moved to the ranch. It was a big old log house with only four rooms.
There was a big wood burning stove on the north wall of the kitchen, with a hutch on the west and a dry sink on the south. In the center stood a large table with drawers in it where we had our meals. Those things hardly covered half the room.
There was a linoleum in the middle of the room but the outside edges were painted wood and splintery. Charlie was crawling then and Mom had to keep overalls on him to help keep splinters out of his knees.
The well was outside the south window, which is a story for another time. It was a good, solid old house and left many good memories in my mind.
I remember that house. I used to play with a Calumet Baking Powder can, rolling it across the floor. I actually had to look up baking powder brands because I forgot the name, but I remember the picture of the red Indian Chief
