Here Are Pics From The House I Grew Up In

The pictures below are of the house that I grew up in. It starts off in the cellar of the garage & yes there is OLD food down there...we dated the carrots at 1978. There is canned peanut butter (see 1st pic) and other majorly old things down there. We even found an old dehydrater. This is what your food storage COULD look like if you don't recycle it...I'm just sayin' haha. Another thing the cellar was built as a storm shelter as well. There have been tornadoes come through MT. My sister pointed something out about the cellar that there is a tunnel that her & her brother's dug out...it goes all the way to the other side of the garage! Pretty cool. Ok so I don't want to spend the time describing each pic (I did that on Facebook already...so if you want to know cross reference there ;o).) I will be going through someday & updating the blog because I will eventually put it into book form. But for now I wanted to get these up. In the pictures with my nieces & nephew playing around there are Orbs. I think in one of the pics the orbs reflection is in the window...so I know it isn't just a dust particle & it isn't in EVERY picture, but some. The garage facing the garage door from the stairs there are about 4 orbs & then I think the 2 smaller ones are reflecting in the car....YES there is a car in the garage! haha ;o) It used to be so full we couldn't fit anything in there. There is also a picture out in the back yard with an orb clear as day.

The story with this house is my mom was raised here. It used to be an underground house with 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom a living room that ended up being the parent's bedroom, and a kitchen. There were I think 10 kids? My mom's mom died when she was 3 years old from heart disease & her dad married Ina Fromm. She had 5 of her own & my grandfather had 5 of his own. They all lived in the tiny house underground. (We couldn't get pics of the downstairs because there is a renter :o( So Maybe next time.)

My mom's sister Joyce was 11 years old when she died. She had a ruptured appendix & she was one that didn't complain about anything. A for real angel on earth. She died a couple of years after her mom died. My grandfather's wife, Ina, died as well. I am not sure how she died and when. So there has been some loss in this family...in this house.

My grandfather built the upper half in the 70's & then sold it to my parents. My parent's had the 1st 3 kids in CA & then moved them to MT where they went all the way through high school in this house. I was raised in this house until I was 12. Now to tell you I always felt a spirit in that house & it wasn't always a good feeling. I always felt creeped out. Like someone was watching me. So I really do believe that there are spirits in this home & I am sure they aren't bad, but just there. Not sure who they are or if it is Joyce & my grandmother? Who knows. The house has been special to our family & will always remain so. It's still on well water haha! The city has tried forever to get my family to switch, but because the house is so old they can't make us. I can't remember though if my dad finally made the switch? I have such a bad memory LOL. The house is surrounded by lilac bushes... I LOVE LILACS! The bushes were my favorite thing with that house! I will add more later, but it is SO SUPER LATE that I must retire! NIGHT!
