What was your favorite thing in the house or the yard?

Wow that is a hard one but I suppose it would have to be the old stone fireplace in the center of the yard. I always enjoyed when we got to do things there and especially the dinners but I also remember making homemade soap out there by that fireplace. Mom and dad stopped making soap when I was fairly young but I will always have visions of the cow fat hanging in the barn that they used when doing it. The fat was melted at the fireplace in the yard and the rest of the process was, well forgotten by me. I can really only remember doing it a couple of times but I do remember the bars of soap that were around for years after that. There may even be some still sitting out in the barn somewhere for all I know.
