This old barn...
...was built in 1912.  

Grandpa wanted to have the front painted.  He put in ad in the paper on Tuesday, it was painted on Wednesday and we had a little party for the barn on Saturday!!!

I love this "Farmer Johnson."  

How many times has he walked towards this barn?  
too many to count...
My grandpa.  I love him.  
The last time the barn was painted was over 15 years ago.  I painted it.  Yes, that is me at the top of the ladder, which is securely held by my dad in a wagon.  The big barn took quite a few coats to cover it.  I painted MANY barns that summer.  I went through 5 gallon buckets of paint like crazy!
