These photos and those in the next blog go with Grandpa's blog that follows. The first one here shows the side of house. The fireplace went from the main level up two stories and there was a large loft area with an extra bath upstairs that overlooked the living room. The lower level you see here was where the master suite was.
The lake, before it filled with water. Once we had this completed, we anxiously waited for the rains to fill it up. We had what we thought were pretty good rains, but the lake area was so big that it just seemed like a drop in the bucket. Then one night - here comes one of the famous mid-western storms and we are watching the lake get fuller, and fuller, and fuller. We were beginning to panic. Would the dam hold? But it did and from then on we had a fun lake where we boated (small raft with electric motor), and swam.
It sure was pretty when it snowed. See the little dot on the right? That was our first dog Taffy.
This was the back of the house facing the woods and creek. I loved the decks that Dick put in. He put bird feeders along the top of rails and it was wonderful to watch the birds that came to feed, especially the red cardinals.
Love this photo of Mom - taken on Kentucky Lake.
