I believe that come June, Himself and I will have lived here for 19 years. That is the very longest I have lived ANYWHERE! I do not belive it, even as I write about it. I lived in Peru, IA almost 2 years. I lived at the Junkyard maybe 10 years although it seems the longest of any place I have ever lived. I lived at the "green house" in Afton about 4 years, one year at Shagbark before sharing an apartment in Creston with Little Jan. Then, I married and lived in Sioux City for almost 6 years where I started my real life. In 1977, we moved to Hubbard, NE for a year when Zenith Corp shut down. As we didn't want to move to Mexico or Taiwan we bought a grocery store and a whirlwind ensued -- the farm house west of Orient, Helen Speed's house, Lobaugh's and then to the yellow house on the football field. Klinkenfus'.
Then to here, this neat ol house. The first year we were here the crabapple trees were lovely. This year, they are going to be again.

I can't believe it's been 19 years either! And when I dream about growing up, it's usually the Klinkenfuss (sp?) house! It's time for my subconcious to move on!
Wow, we're growing old! I believe that I was 16 years old when we moved into that house. I was so excited because I would then be closer to all the Creston boys who I was crazy for. Plus, compared to the Klinkenfus house, it was "high class". I loved that house . . . it will always be "home" to me.
