I'm breathless. I remember every single thing about that house and the creek, and the barn, and the outhouse. I can still see Old Bill standing by the gate. I wish I had known the grandpa that you remember, but I did go to the nursing home every weekend to visit him with Freddie when I was a little girl. His funeral was the first time I ever remember seeing my dad cry. He was a wonderful man, and I feel fortunate to be able to call him Grandpa Mitchell. Wow! I’m breathless.

It brings up memories from a childhood of the past that at times is almost forgotten. I am so proud that you are a hometown girl who bring's back memories of a place that might be otherwise lost. Man how time has slipped away from all of us and those wonderful days. Karen,

Please keep adding to my libary, I love it, Margaret P S We have a very pretty rock which your Dad gave to Arnold's grandmother, Lillie MITCHELL Norwood, which one day you will get.

Took me back in time to my grandpa's home place too! You really have a gift and I hope you keep writing. I'm so glad your Dad got to read it and see it published. I know it's hard for you - losing both your parents so close together. I've lost both of mine too and it sucks - but we just have to hang in there and focus on the family we have left. Keep up the good work and send me more when you can! love, michelle Karen -

It was wonderful. I could almost smell the smells and see the Homestead. It all came to life. You have a talent for writing that made this so interesting. I am married to a relative of yours. My husband, in fact, is named Mitchell after your side of the family. His name is Mitchell Tindel Thanks for sharing your story. I loved it. This story brought tears to my eyes. It was wonderful.
