This is an undated photo but may be around 1990 based on photos around it in the album (but may be earlier). You can see the house is in better shape ~34 years ago. The two houses appear to be still well attached. Tulips in the garden, a bird feeder, tools next to the front door.
The photo below is from 1995. Charles is with his new baby- Haley a colt out of his beloved Morgan Suzie (also in the photo). My son Alex was 10 and is here with his new Lab puppy Meg.
Gosh, I don’t remember that tree at all. Is it still there?
