Grandma and Grandpa Jackson’s house


if Sally blogged she would say


Attached is a picture taken a couple of weeks ago of Grandma and Grandpa Jackson’s house, 857 Roosevelt. About a half a dozen years ago, whomever owned it at the time tore out the yard and put in xeriscaping. Oh, how I hope Papa Morris never looks in on it. The front of the house has had a couple of different looks over the years, even when our grandparents lived there. At one point, the bricks were their natural color. At another, all was painted white. That was the look that was there the longest. After the landscaping took a turn, the house was given this craftsman pain job. The green bugs me and it is just not the same house. But, for what it is worth, there it is.

Doesn't look the same without the rose bushes

How kind of you. And, oh, those missing roses. I wonder if Papa Morris works in the flower gardens in heaven. How well he and Rindy would have done together! They would have flowers on their flowers.
