Our last trip to California, we went to our old homes and the areas we grew up in. This first house is where Susan, Jerry and Rocky called home in Lakewood Calif. Three bedrooms, one bathroom, five people, dogs and many other types of animals. To know more, just ask those early residence.
Mitony Avenue, Whittier, Calif. home to the Howards. Mike, Don and Sherry grew up in this little beauty. After their Mom, Arminta, passed, the home was sold and the big trees out front were removed. Many days were spent with kids and grandchildren in this yard and neighborhood.
This fixer-up was our first home. Located on See Dr. Whittier, Calif. We started with two bedrooms, two children, one bathroom, lots of love and plans. We added two bedrooms, another bathroom, patio, fireplace, and three children here. This home started at 800 sq.ft. Finished at 1500 sq.ft. We sold it and moved to St. George Utah. Ethan our sixth child was born here, and we have made changes to our current home also. A story for another time.
One of our favorite places to get food was across the street, it is still there after 20 years, Stuft Pizza
The oil fields where Sherry used to ride their horses still has a few of the oil pumps working. A lot has changed around the Whittier,and Lakewood areas since we lived and grew up there. Hope you like the trip down memory lane...

It is fun to see all the old houses! Lots of memories made in those homes. I remember the big trees out front and loved that house with the cool backyard and Ginny pigs. That's the only one I remember...
Those houses all look pretty good. It is funny that they took down those big trees and put up those spindley little trees.
I can almost smell Stuft Pizza now!
It was fun to drive by the houses and remember years past. I also thought it was pretty funny that at every house someone started getting a little suspicious when we were taking pictures. You forgot the pics of West Whittier though. I sacrificed my safety to get those ones.
As for the big trees, they were cut down because the roots were getting into the sewer lines. Not good.
