This Old House

My family and I used to live in Kyle, Texas.  We moved from there in August of 1986, so really - I have no memory of it other than all the stories I hear.
Dad was mayor, he owned a printing business and a little cafe.
He decided one day that he didn't want Jennifer & I to go to public school in Kyle so he and his best friend Mike picked up and headed out to find us a new place to live... and that's where they still are now.

Anytime we're in Kyle, we make it a point to drive by the old house and see what it looks like.  It's a house with so much character.  Mom & Dad bought it for next to nothing and then completely updated the entire thing, adding onto the house and adding a swimming pool.  From everything I hear - this house was amazing.  Mom says she wanted to move the house when we moved - clearly that didn't happen, though - growing up in a log cabin was a lot of fun, and I don't think I'd trade that for anything.

Here are a few pictures of the old house where only the paint color has changed since we moved.
