Slide Photos for the week

Every July we have a family reunion at my paternal grandparents' farm.  In honor of that tradition I am posting slide photos of the Mason family and the Mason farm.


My grandmother and myself in 1966

A working farm still in 1972

My grandmother died in 1972.  I have a few memories, but not many.  We continued to visit the farm even after my grandfather moved in with his daughter in her house down the road.  My father died on that farm.  It has been in our family for over 100 years, never owned by another family, and the state of Indiana has recognized it for this very reason.  I'm looking forward to heading back there this summer if only for a short time.

  1. I remember visiting the farm. I don't remember a whole lot but I do remember the time you and Rusty convinced me to "touch" the electric fence. I proceeded to GRAB the fence and then couldn't let go. Then you grabbed me and he grabbed you and we all got a great shock. That was sooooo funny! Such great memories.
