Dining room and Kitchen...
Grandma's dining room table and a cute corner piece that Grandma made used to sit in this dining room.
Grandma's kitchen... I remember sitting at the table during lunchtime, eating a hamburger, and watching "The Price is Right." Grandma really enjoyed Bob Barker.

Grandma and Grandpa's living room
Grandma and Grandpa's recliners were positioned on this side of the room...

Grandma and Grandpa's den
The couch used to be along this wall, and the tv used to be in the corner where the cords now remain. I slept on that couch when we moved from Sydney to Warsaw, and I remember practicing my flute in this room every day after school when I was in the eighth grade.
Grandma and Grandpa used to have a beautiful roll-top desk along this wall. They sold it before Grandpa passed away, and I was so bummed because I had hoped for it to remain in the family.

Grandma's room...
Grandma's dresser was against this wall, and her bed was at an angle across the room. I'll always remember her vanity against the third wall as we walked in the room. Chelsea has that vanity now in her room, and I drove over, in part, to get Grandma's bed and dresser for our house. Just couldn't bear to think of those items ending up somewhere else.
Grandpa's room...
On March 27, 2013, I drove over to Indiana. My mom had an offer on Grandma and Grandpa's house on Buffalo Street, and she thought that they were going to close on that Thursday. (The deal fell through at the last minute.) As I walked through the house, so many memories kept flooding through my mind... I didn't spend much time in this room... As family rumor has it, my great-grandmother passed away in this room. In his later years, Grandpa slept in here because Grandma didn't want to be disturbed when Grandpa got up early to go to work at Walmart.
