I know you live adjacent to your parents home.. <br />How many houses on your street neighborhood.. <b>for some reason I am picturing fewer homes with larger yards vs many homes with smaller lawns...</b><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />yes, older homes. many homesteaded out here in the country when it was all farm land Over 150 years ago.<br />Our neighbor across the street is going on 91 and the house he was born in is still ALMOST still standing next to my parents property<br /><br />when my parents built here 45 years ago we where the &quot;newcomers&quot;  back then most everyone on my road was related to someone.  and now it is the same as grown children have built homes on their parents property like I have or bought property just down the road a bit a built a home&#33;  two brothers did just that&#33;  LOL<br />It is a small community. Pretty much anyone you know if you look close enough (or far enough back) you will find a relationship with another family.<br /><br />the road I live on is approx. 2.4  miles long.  the road runs north to south basically.   one the east side there&#39;s  about 14 houses.  on the west side there&#39;s about 18 houses. <br />45 years ago   the orginal houseplaces numbered about 9 on the east and 7 on the west.<br /><br />p.s.<br /><br />I forgot to mention everyone has property behind their homes also.  my parents could only afford to buy 20 acres at the time when they built and that was considered a &quot;small piece of land&quot;<br />BTW...the land was &#036;100.00 an acre.
