"I'd rather die than live in a nursing home."

(And she did that)

The Bert Stover house in Poole.
Where they raised six kids.  There was indoor plumbing.  A wood and corn-cob burning kitchen stove.  A room in the attic with a skylight.  A basement for the furnace and shelves for home- canned foods.  A sun-room on the south.  A mulberry tree in back.  Asparagus and June berries.  A trumpet vine on the south side of the house.  And a rock garden and fish pond (that saw good times long ago).
