(just outside Huntington) and it brings back many memories, including services in the Baptist church of my childhood. The architecture of your grandparents' house is so classic for the area and reminds me of those on the street in Huntington where my grandmother and one of my aunts lived.
I hope you have a wonderful Easter, bigtree, wherever and however you will be celebrating this year!
