  • Sharyn M. Added I'm now 79 and I too was a born farm girl. Today I was able to go through old pictures of myself, and I was on this farm in Michigan from 1946 to about 1952. Looking at the pictures all of our 5 barns were white with very long high up on the roof. This brought me a lot of memories there. Thanks Mel for helping me see these memories.
