My Great Grandparents home, Elmer and Emma Hunt. Growing up we would attend family reunions here. I never went into the house because I thought it was off-limits. I have since found the courage to ask if I could go inside!! My moms Uncle owns the home and his daughter, Teresa, takes care of it for him. She was nice enough to take us on a tour. I am glad she was there and it was so fun to hear her and my mom talk about their Grandparents and the memories they have of them!
I have a thing for old stoves. This is Elmer and Emma's original stove. Under the electric fry-pan is a hot plate that is actually a pot that sits down inside the stove. Sweet! I need to find me one of these!
Doily that Emma always had on her table. Mom and Teresa remember her hanging it on the wall next to the table whenever they ate and then putting it back on the table after the dishes were cleared. It is now hanging on a wall in one of the bedrooms.

Emma's original bed. My mom remembers sleeping at her Grandma's after Grandpa died because she didn't want to be alone.
Elmer and Emma's original wind-up clock. After Grandma Emma passed away one of the kids took the clock. Soon after it stopped working. They had professionals work on it and couldn't ever get it to work very well. Years later they held a reunion and asked everyone to bring something that reminded them of Grandma and Grandpa. The clock was brought and put back in the house for safe-keeping while family vacationed. The clock was wound and placed on the shelf where it originally sat. It began working. Everyone agreed the clock belonged in the house.

Elmer and Emma lived up the canyon in a small, humble home. The home stood near this tree. They would have to bring water from the spring that was up against the hill in the background.
While growing up on the ranch, my Grandpa and his siblings would come play here on the 'red hill'. My kids thought it looked fun!
