Home Sweet Home

 How about a pictorial post of the homes we lived in?

These are the homes that my Dad’s family had – a farmhouse in Galvin, WA (1940’s-1954) and a rambler in Grand Mound, WA (1957-1975).  When I was growing up, we visited the Grand Mound home.

      These are the homes that my husband & I own.  A-frame is the home we purchased in 1986 and is currently in the process of selling. Our son grew up in the Littlerock house.  The rambler we purchased in 2023 as we needed to go to a single story and have less yard to maintain.

Historical Events

            So many events have happened in our lives.  I personally have lived to see and experience Mt St Helen’s eruption of May 18, 1980, Nisqually Earthquake on February 28, 2001, the 9/11 terrorist attacks also in 2001, and the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020.

My parents went through the 1949 earthquake and the 1962 Columbus Day storm (we lost a barn and several orchard trees).  One of the schools, the Old Washington School (now no longer in existence) was damaged.  I believe my mom attended that school.

I’m sure there were earlier events but those are the only ones I can remember.
