We have some friends here in Ft. Worth that were also neighbors in the little mountain town in Colorado (where we use to spend our summers). Well, they also have a ranch west of Ft. Worth that I’ve always wanted to visit, and we finally got an invitation.
You drive about and hour and a half west of town on the freeway, but the last mile is down a gravel road,
as is the driveway up to the house.
There are two small flat top mountains on the property and the house sits at the base of one of them. They both have great hiking trails.
The little farm house was built in the 1920’s making it 100 years old,
although our friends bought the 2, 000 spread back in1996.
They have enlarged the kitchen, added another family room, bedroom and bath at the back of the house.
This is the original family room. Funny, I tried to level this picture, and gave up when I finally realized the old floor has slanted with age.
One of the four cute bedrooms.
Oh and there were several cows about.
The whole day was about being outside, enjoying each other’s company and of course eating some good Texas barbecue.Thanks for the invite Kerry and John.
Sounds like great place to spend a day.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteGlad that you and Tom got invited by Kerry and John.
Being friends and neighbors in two states is unique and this was such a highly interested place to explore.
Amazing that the place is one century old, never mind the slanted wood floor.
Hugs,
Mariette
What a beautiful place. A great place to spend the day visiting with friends.
