Grandma's farm


My grandma & grandpa's farm, just south of Dalton.
My mom and her 6 siblings grew up here.  The barn
still stands, but the house has been replaced.   The
smaller building in the foreground behind the trees is
the chicken coop.   I remember the chickens scratching
around the yard.  The lake in the lower corner is Hansel Lake.



Christmas at Grandma's circa 1953-55.    From left to right are:
Carl Synstelien, Palma Synstelien, Esther Dahlager and Grandma.
Pretty stylish living room, huh?   The curtains were PLASTIC, 
but matched the wallpaper.   But I'm lovin' the Christmas tree
with the larger lights and tinsel - they don't make tinsel like they used too!
