It burned down!

Remember this post...the house and barn that used to be

my grandparents? The barn is now gone...accidentally burned down.

So very sad to me as it still had many goodies inside.

Do you also remember that it was right across from our church? Well...the siding on our fellowship hall is now all melted too.

{I hope to get a picture soon...hubs and I drove past the other night,

but it was dark and I didn't have my camera with me}

Our good friend who had purchased the property {and also

attends our church} was eventually going to tear it down,

but he did not intend for it to happen this way.

He was burning a little pile in front of the barn as he was

cleaning it out and he just walked a few feet away to get

something and that quick the wind must have changed

direction and

whoosh...no saving the barn.

I am so so glad that I got pictures taken before this happened.

The house is still there, but the tree was also partially burned.

I was told you could see it for miles. I am sure it was just

like a tinder box with a hole in the roof , the end and the side

along with lots of stuff inside to make a hot, hot fire.

Can you believe that just moments before the fire started,

a lot of stuff had been moved from our youth building

and put in the house for storage??

So thankful that it didn't take the house too.

I now call our friend the *firebug*. lol.

Many sweet memories at that homestead...

blessings~
