First Home on the Big Hill


This was the first home that was our very own. It is the middle section of the white house that you see today. It had a kitchen and bathroom on the main level, a bedroom upstairs, and one bedroom downstairs, along with washing room and coal furnace set up down there. Up until this time, we had rented a house by Horseshoe, and then rented in Arizona two winters, where Grandpa Weston would go to find work. When we came back, one summer when we were building this house, we stayed at Grandpa Karl and Grandma Alena's. When Debbie was born, we moved into the little house. When Debbie was learning how to walk, we went down to Arizona in the winter and helped Grandpa Karl build their house. During the summers, Grandpa Karl would help with our house and also farming. After Terry and Michael were school age, we stayed in Teton Valley year round.
