Front porch

The area we moved into in Shawnee in 1951 had houses that were kind of alike. We had a three bedroom house with a front stoop as did all the houses here unless they were two bedrooms and they still had a stoop instead of a front porch. Ray's uncle was good with things and he told us he could make our house look different by putting a rail around the front stoop. Sounded good to us. I think Curtis made everything himself and soon we had a stoop that was different then the others. It was great to decorate at holidays. As the years passed the south side fell off and we moved it around to the backyard until we could replace it. We never got it replaced but it is used for birds to perch on and they look happy. It sits on the wall that surrounds our patio so we still enjoy it,
