Already blogging

We went to Kayla's 2nd birthday party today. I will have a more detailed blog to follow with pics tomorrow. We ALL had a blast.

We met our newest neighbors a few minutes ago. They're pretty cool. They appear to be the same age as us and they have a little boy named "Jackson". Jackson turns 3 on the same day Jack will turn 1. How cool is that??? PLUS they LOVE dogs, especially big dogs.

So they were telling us about the land and surrounding neighbors (they have done lots of research since they have been building since last May). They told us that our land is the only property that runs up to the fence line. The water company owns everyone else's fence line. Also he mentioned that we have a well on our property. Jean and I had been wondering for some time what this weird looking pipe was in our backyard. Sure enough, it's a well and you can see the water. Then they told us that where our house stands was once an old farm house that burned down. That is why our trees appear dead. They were burned at one time and don't grow on one side.

So mu question for you is.....how do I find out more about this old farm house? Why it burned? Who lived here? I know there are some public records somewhere...but I am at a loss. Please send me info!
