The Misses Carruthers


This framed print of a Jennie Augusta Brownscombe painting entitled "For the Springtime of Life is the Fairest of All" has been in our family for ages and reminds me of happy childhood in byegone years.


Working on my story The Misses Carruthers.  Set in 1901.

My Old House



Photo from mid-70s, probably taken by JAE.  My ongoing project is to try to learn more about the house, when it was moved to current location, etc.  I'm also hoping to learn more about the original Donation Land Claim owner, J.P. Bersch.  History is so interesting!
