 The backyard of a house my daughter and her husband rented for 3 years. The owners were a couple that had a son when he was in his 60s and she in her 40s...The dad was ill and was a stay-at-home dad and the mom taught at the college....The dad had an amazing vegetable garden and built cool toys for his son..He died suddenly. and she rented out the house and moved away....

My SIL was working at camp and my daughter was going to college and I was taking care of the grandkids every day.......That was a fun time for me....I love the company of young children and we created a strong bond in those years that is still there....Gratitude...

When I was a child, I always dreamt about having a tree house! That place looks like a lot of fun for the kids!

 NEVER HAD A TREE HOUSE. TREE HOUSE HOTELS ARE ALL THE THING HERE NOW BUT I WONDER IF THE HUTS WAY UP HIGH HAVE BATHROOMS. WITH MY ALLERGIES, STAYING IN ONE IS OUT OF THE QUESTION SO I GUESS I WILL NEVER KNOW.

 My boys would have loved that treehouse. They often pitched a tent and camped in the backyard. My older son mentioned that he recalls petting what he thought was a cat. When he got more awoke, he realized it was a possum. Possums are generally harmless but they do have a lot of teeth.

That's a cool story........8-11 year old boys are very interesting creatures....I have admired them ever since I can remember.....I have never seen a possum, but my friends on Salt Spring Island just South of me say there are some there..../SIZE]

I had to watch them carefully when the older boys came over to play...It's a long way down to a hard deck...They became good friends and now play D+D together.

 What beautiful memories. Our physical work load might have been harder back in those times, but I often wonder what we, as a society, have traded away for all the modern, work easing, conveniences that we have now.
Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
