where I grew up in nj

went to my brothers farm to split some firewood for him .I split some wood and took some pictures too! a view of where I grew up years ago dad sold 1/2 the farm ,so a road goes down the middle of the original farm big new houses on one side of the street,where their back yards are,my dad used to raise pigs! thats the little farmhouse I grew up in,my brother rents it out. I stopped in the driveway to open the gate the little shed where we kept a freezer etc, One of my first solo block laying jobs,my dad let me do it by myself,I was pretty young at the time. the barn my dad built ,my brother and I too. my trailer is parked there too,I havent needed it ,almost forgot it was there! my old concrete mixer,many a side job I did with that old pup and I only took a few pictures of my brothers stuff,he is quite a collector even got a picture for SweetFeet Itook all those pictures ,,and split some wood,,,I wish i could get my brother on the site here,you all would like him,he is a great guy,a very good mechanic,and would be a nice addition to the tractor site, thank you all for joining me in my visit to where I grew up....Larry

OH NO! Two sticks and a dog. lol.

my brother had that truck given to him,it was a tractor(tractor trailer) ,he put the body on it Your Ford looks good too,nice dog too!

I assumed you grew up on the PA farm? Did you buy that one for a weekend retreat?

no,my dad bought the property in pa around 1966,he left the pa property to me and my wife ,and the nj farm to my brother and his wife

Thanks for taking us on your trip, Larry.....Looks like your Dad did
good for you guys!

yes,HE worked hard all his life,tough as nails,but not tougher than cigerettes,how sad is that

Does your brother charge admission? He's got a lot of nice stuff!

he has more than that,that was just a few pictures...lol

Boy, thats a smart way to do it...
Never thought of that. I am dealing with issues now, since I want to make plans to buy the home farm but I have two siblings...

Awww, great pics, Larry. Thanks for the rust too.

I will have to look through photos sometime... for where I grew up. Folks moved off the farm about 18 years ago. I only ever went back in the farmyard once...cried like a dang baby - not sure why.

Never even peeked into the house... Mom and dad visited the new owners a few years after selling the farm. They got a house tour...but when I was there, I never even peeked inside -- just want to remember it "the way it was".

I will get around to posting some old and new
pictures of grandparents farm one of these days
pictures start about 1900 and go until it was sold
in the late 90's. Some great pictures. Had them all
once, then computer was struck by lightning, this
is a new computer and haven't downloaded them from
back-up source yet.

Yep, seems like most everyone smoked 'back in the day' - I did and it took me over 20 years to quit but now, I am not even tempted with way the new cigarettes smell :shock:
