My Dad's House in New York

My dad lives in a log cabin in upstate New York.  You can see it here in the picture of Benjamin and his Great-Grandma Kimbler (my Grandma):



Near the cabin is the outhouse.  You can see how thrilled MO is to have to use it:



Fortunately, they no longer use the well where you had to send down buckets to fill up on water. It is now covered up by rocks so nobody falls in.



They live among an old apple orchard.  In the fall they have more apples than they know what to do with.  In the summer when we were there, the wild raspberries were starting to ripen.  There must have been billions of raspberries, and that is not an overstatement!  Daily I wandered around and eat raspberries whenever I got hungry, just like when I was a kid.  Emma too!





Dad also has a fire-pit at his house like we had growing up.  This one had a ground-hog living in a hole right below that large log.



MO cooked the ground-hog.  It hasn't been seen since.
