If these walls could talk......
This farmhouse has had 4 generations of our farm family living here. I've often said I wish the walls could talk and tell the stories of things that happened over the years. Well, we started taking some old wallpaper off the upstairs hallway last night and we uncovered some 32-year-old artifacts. When my farmer was a kid in 1979 his mom decided to wall paper the upstairs hallway. So the kids had fun writing all over the walls before she did it. When we ripped the wallpaper away there it was as if it had just happened! It was very exciting! There were even some words from cousins that came to visit often. So this post is for those sisters, cousins, and friends who are grown up and moved away from the farmhouse. Maybe this will bring back some happy memories for you! Below is only some of the artwork and messages. There were too many to put on here.

Wow, I remember "inscribing" some of those ancient "hieroglyphics" on the wall!!!
Are you going to preserve them for future generations to see? : )

This is like opening a time capsule! I guess I was one of the artists that did some of the scribbling. Time flies! I actually forgot we did that!
Love it! I sure dont remember doing this, but we ALWAYS had fun at the Brandt farm...including the funeral for the dead chicken:)You could leave the wall like it is and start a new decor fashion! kate
