Describe your childhood home and neighborhood.

I grew up in a home that had been moved from Duchesne onto blue bench and then added onto several times. There was a porch that was added, a basement set of rooms and siding. It was a two story home with a basement. We lived on a dead end road with the nearest neighbor a little over a half mile away and town was about two miles. It was a little more than a 40 acre farm and had plenty of work to always be done. Duchesne was a small town where everyone knew everyone and everything about them. There were several families that were the base of the community and they were all well known with my family as one of them. We were farmer’s for the most part and I loved growing up on the farm despite the lack of shopping malls and McDonalds. We didn’t have them and thus we didn’t miss them.
