I think we owned this house. It had a dirt yard, as you can see. It was about 5 or 6 miles north of Comanche on Highway 16 towards DeLeon. You can't see here but it had at least a quarter acre of blackberry bushes. And an amazing pear tree way down in back by the creek.
Mother tried to raise hogs while we were here. They got out and ruined her garden. She was so mad she sold the sow and 13 little ones to the first person that came along.
I can't remember if we had indoor plumbing or not. That might be the outhouse in the back of the third photo. I do remember using an outhouse when I was a little kid somewhere. Bill was very young, about 3. One day mother set the back yard on fire while she was trying to burn trash. The neighbors came over and tried to help put the grass fire out; it was a hot dry summer. But Bill was in the house sleeping and missed all the excitement.
