 Hi all,

   I was out taking a walk this afternoon and decided I'd better take some pictures of Marie Moon's house, before it's not recognizable. Jed and Angie Stoddard have bought it and are fixing it up. I'll always miss Marie but I'm glad her house won't be just sitting empty and falling apart any longer. She always planted a big garden and each year say it was the last time. She took such pride in her house and yard. It's nice to see someone taking care of it again.

   I imagine most of you kids remember when we used to walk to her house and take her shopping in her car. She kept it in the old garage her husband, Les, had built. What kind of car was that?  She sure loved you kids. 

   Love to you all, 

Mom/Johanna/Nana

I'm so glad you took these pictures! I do remember going shopping with her. I'm glad you got her mailbox in that last shot. I love that it still has her rural route number on it! That was a really long time ago!!! - Aimee

It’s great to see they are going to fix up her home. I remember driving around in her car many times. She used to let me play with her elbow skin – I loved how squishy and wrinkly it was. You would tell me to stop playing with it, and she would just say, “it’s ok – I don’t mind”. Haha! I don’t remember what kind of car she had – it might have been an old Chevy or Buick, but I don’t know. I also have many memories of working in her garden and her yard – lots of mowing and weed pulling!

 

Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

 

Love you, Mom!

 

Have a great day everyone!
