Grandma and Grandpa and Stanley's family had homes just a few yards downhilll from the house. They also had corrals and there was, what seemed to me, to be a big water tank. The wooden water flume was down by the creek (went over Mrs. Heath's house) just south of the their home . Grandma Annie Smith had a personality disorder - m)
