Aberdeen and Lorenzo

While we were in Eastern Idaho, we drove through Melanie's hometown of Aberdeen. We went by her house, which looks much smaller now than it did when we were younger. We went to the "beach" not far from her house where she swam in the American Falls Reservoir as a kid. Melanie entered nostalgiaville when we drove by her high school - her glory days returned. McKenzie drew the line though, when Melanie wanted to walk through the hallways.
Coming back from Island Park, we stopped in Lorenzo to get a picture of Grandma and Grandpa Goff' s place, the house where dad grew up. It looks a lot smaller now too.
This photo was taken over the 8 foot fence which garrisons the property. Several years ago it was purchased by an artisan of some sort who promptly built a castle behind the house and to the west. Dad's house was turned into a studio. You can see how much has changed. There is a sun room added to the living room. A metal roof was put on and the driveway was plowed under and planted with grass and a row of trees. Being here brought back good memories. One of these days Melanie and I will have to take a trip to take pictures of all the places our families have lived. It will have to be when all our kids are gone because they wouldn't see the point - until much later in their lives.
