With Mamaw's passing has come the task of cleaning out her house. She lived in a big house on a 100+ acre farm where my mom and her siblings grew up. Sadly because of nursing home and caretaker expenses, my family had to sell her farm back in the fall but she got to stay in the house. It was so hard going back in the house with her not there and things so familiar to me being emptied out. Yet it was great to reminisce on such wonderful memories at Mamaw's house.
I LOVE antiques and appreciate the details of Mamaw's house like these mantles. I wish we could take them with us!
This is where so many of us grandkids have made memories...on her stairs. No telling how many bottoms have slid down those steps or banister!
Another love of mine is old barns. I think the inside of Mamaw's is so neat and loved how the sun streamed through.
Another one of my favorite places at Mamaw's, the creek. We spent SO much time down here playing in the sand and running back and forth across the rocks that use to lead from one side to the other. Daddy and Riley waded through thanks to some "not-so-waterproof boots" as Daddy found out later!
So many memories that will never be forgotten in this old house and on this farm.
