| Betty and Mary Louise Lawler and Jean English @1938 |
As a child, Mom (Jean English) spent many hours on the Lawler Farm. This was the farm of her Great Aunt and Uncle, Eva (Baier) and William Lawler. On my visit in July, I was fortunate to not only see this farm where she had spent parts of her summers but to meet Steve Lawler and his wife Brenda who are still living on the farm as well as Martha Bowen, who lives on a farm just across the way and with her sister Margaret offers a B&E (as she says that is eggs, you get to cook them yourself.) I toured the house and it looked like a wonderful place to stay. Check it out
Irish Ridge B&E.

The area is gorgeous, some of the most luscious farms I ever seen. If it weren't a couple thousand miles away, I would be renting that house on a regular basis!
Grandpa English, who had spent many summers on the Baier Farm which was just minutes away, also loved to visit. Although Eva was his Aunt, she was just a few years older than he. Although I didn't know Grandpa well, my memories were all pretty much of a fun loving man who would definitely be climbing the trees!
