JULY 27, 2015 – Today’s message – send more photos to your family – maybe one per day. – Help your family feel that “We were there” – THE NEW CELL PHONE COMMUNITY VS “WE WERE THERE” – For example. our spring house was like a family community spring house – I found this description of a spring house on the web: “Out the back door was the spring house, where a cool flow of water was guided down troughs in either side, usually deep enough to set a pail of milk and crock of meat, to keep it from spoiling so fast. A flat rock made a shallow place where a dish of butter could rest, and other foods for the kitchen table. The spring-house was the storage for the kitchen, and cool water to use.”

I was thinking - the Cell phone (Cell Camera) has replaced the communal environment of the family farm community. I was born and lived my first 20 years in the foreground farm - my Grand Parents lived in the farm in the upper left - Two of my aunts and uncles lived in two houses on the farm not shown - just that far to the right. They all taught me in one grade or another throughout my 12 years of public school.
