About two weeks, our family recieved some sad news. My Grandma and Grandpa Hiatt's Tree that was about 130 years old fell. I was a little surprised that I was so sad to hear about this tree. I mean it was just a tree right? Then I got to thinking it really was more than that. Many, Many of my early memories of my grandparents house involve that tree and a swing. I know over the years all of the grandchildren have enjoyed it as well. So, in a sense, I did fell that I had lost something.
So here is to the tree, one my mom played in and so did I, one I had hoped my daughters would be big enough to enjoy one day, and now I will just have to share the memories I have of that tree.
This is a picture of my anut Anita, Mom(miriam), and Roger Jr. I guess this was in the 70's.
Another Pic of the tree about 25 years ago.
