I lived in this house from the time I was born until I was 4 years old. I can hardly believe this is the same house. It is so over grown I can hardly recognize it. I can remember many things while living here. My older sister and I helped a mother snake deliver her babies. We cut her open with a stick. We put the baby snakes in a tin can and went to show our mother who was conducting a tupperware party at the time. I think we got in trouble after that.

There was an old lady, Mrs. Shelton that lived behind us who used to yell at us for climbing on our own fense. Everytime we would go out there and make noise she would come out and yell at us. In those days you were allowed to burn your trash in the back yard, so we regularly had a fire going. Of course my parents would be supervising. I remember one time my mother taught me how to put puzzles together. It was such an amazing mystery to me at the time. The puzzle was of an old time pirate or a three musketeer type character. It took me days to put it together. I was so mesmerized trying to find out what the picture was. Finally the picture was put together. I loved it, but I was never really interested in putting puzzles together ever since. This is what the house looked like when we lived in it so many years ago.
