WHAT CAN BE DONE? ANYTHING - ENDLESS POSSIBLITIES

Here it is - the funeral home!!!

It was a little spooky going in the front door.  I have only been there before during times of loss but looking at this building in a whole new light didn't make the entry any easier. 

This is the outside

Looks just like a house, huh?

Family kitchen, kinda small but homey.

Unfortunately, it was just down the hall from this room

Yep, you guessed it,  this is the scarey room.  The one that no one gets to see in a funeral home. And just down the hall, literally 25 feet from the kitchen.  I bet a man designed it!

Anyway, it has a beautiful staircase, as you can see

Sorry for the sideview.  Just turn your head upside down!

There were 3 bedrooms upstairs.  Nice size rooms.  I knew the family that used to live here when the father was the undertaker.  I could not imagine sleeping just upstairs from a coffin.  What is worse, once the kids moved out, the bedrooms became coffin show rooms.  The racks are still in them.  The saving grace for this is that the floors are solid.  Those caskets are heavy.

Now, use your imagination.  That beautiful woodwork, the craftsmanship.  Once you get past the history, the skys the limit on possibilities. 

Let me know what you think.  I think a bed and breakfast, maybe a gift shop.  Tear off the front "funeral home" part and add a beautiful wooden porch.  WOW!

Anyway, updates on the farm next post.

Until then,

See ya on the farm

FUNERAL HOME? WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH A FARM

Yep

You heard me right.  We are looking at the old funeral home in Hymera today.

I'm a little nervous (frightened) to look through this building today.  The only other times I have been in it have been when I have gone to funerals of family and friends.  Now, I will see that stuff that have always been hidden.  I wonder how many ghosts are there?

This isn't just about satisfying a curiosity.  We are looking to see if the building is salvageable to make into a business.  Have you seen the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast?  Not quite that morbid, I hope.  But who knows?

I'll take pictures and try to post so you all can take a tour. 

There is a couple of other buildings there that have possibilities.  Let your mind run wild and see what we can come up with.

FARM UPDATES:

2nd transplating for sweet basil, italian basil and celebrity tomatoes.  1st transplant for cilantro, leeks and chives. All this happened yesterday. 

See ya on the farm
