Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Memories and Envy

Happy Fathers Day! Yay!

Yesterday morning we slept late, then we went on a trip down memory lane.

We stopped at our old church and school first. There were some men doing garden work outside. We chatted with them for a while. Then we did a quick walk around the property. We didn’t walk around inside because we’re going to church there this morning.

I love the stained glass windows.

We also stopped by our old house. The current owners weren’t home, so we just walked around it. It was cool to see, but I didn’t want to poke around too much since we didn’t have permission.

They have a pretty spectacular poison ivy vine on the tree in front.

We spent the rest of the day hanging out at Mark and Debbie’s house. I love the projects they have around their house. They are so fearless. They were curious about chickens, so they got chickens. Now they have fresh eggs. So cool.

I watched them eat grapes.  Grapes!  Ha!

The thing I’m most envious about is their secret room. Here’s the door:

Do you see it?

Here it is open:

So cool!

Mark put the space in to accommodate a built-in aquarium.

Its full of tiny starfish.

It reawakened a desire in me to have a secret space in my house. Could that be a summer project? Hmmm…

    Secret space! Secret space! Yes! I am super-envious of that secret room.

    That church is GIGANTIC. Holy (literally) moly. I hope you get a photo of the inside. Isn’t it fun/weird to walk around places from your childhood and imagine your little selves doing what you used to do? I’m glad you’re getting to check it all out. 🙂
