Before Me

Mom, Martha, and Dad.

This is the house that Mom & Dad built after he came home from the war. Not long ago, Dad & I drove by it and took a look. It's still there and also the shop that Dad built for his auto body repair business. The porch is unusual because it is an elevated concrete one. Dad's dad, Big Daddy, was doing huge commercial concrete projects at the time and gave him the particulars on how to do it just right. More than 50 years later, it still stands.
