“We are porch sitters. Rosalie will sit in a love seat along with Tillie and read by the hour. We Dietz boys grew up with a porch and perhaps it was the best of the family gatherings that we had. Sitting there on the porch in rockers watching the rain come down the valley or just watching a full moon rise over the hill across from our house. Mother often singing songs that we knew or learned as we joined in with some dissonant voice. It was perfect although I do not recall that Dad was a regular. He was too busy saying his good nights to the various farm animals. He loved just running his hands over their shanks or necks talking gently to them and being very interested in their well being. So dad with the animals and mom with the other brand of animals: Family time quiet, soft and warm.”
Dad and Rosalie added this porch on to their home over twenty years ago. It looks like it has always been there. Well Done Dad.-R
