Description

The oldest house in North Pomfret, Vermont, has been in my family for over 100 years. My great-uncle bought it for his bride, my great-aunt, just before shipping out in World War I. He wanted to know she had a safe place to live, a place of her own, in the event he didn't return. He DID return, alive and well, and they lived out their lives in this spot. My mother, a city-dweller, spent her childhoods here, and I remember many a childhood summer vacation.
Fabulous memories of early mornings warming up by the wood stove, the only source of heat, blueberry pancakes, music, dancing, croquet on the lawn, and my great-uncle Stan's electric train collection in the "little house" out back. We finally decided we had to put the house on the market last fall.
This photo was taken during our last trip up in November 2018 to fetch the last of the furniture. It's sad to think of the house under new guidance, but we all like the new buyer, and we wish her well.
