This is our old house. Notice the front door has moved. The bricks are gone and the side deck is fenced in. I don't see the point of fencing in the deck. That's just like inside but colder.
See the pool where the garden used to be? I could have gotten into skimming the pool way better than weeding the garden. Also, you can't tell but they have a full basketball court that is paved and everything. The Serbonich's let all the trees grow so they have a very tidy forest next to them and the small trees that were there when we were little are now very big like the one behind the pool.
Here is the Stewart's old house. Their neighborhood is now pretty fancy. I don't remember them having that front porch but what do I know. I do remember there was a tire swing somewhere and we got lost in the very small patch of woods behind their house. Notice the stump of the tree that attracted the lightning that almost killed Ann.
Stewart's from the side view. Ali remembers that shed very clearly. I do not. I also couldn't find the pond she kept telling me was there. I could see the Davis' house from the front yard.
Do not play in the danger shed!!!! You will get in big trouble!!!
The shed that would not die. Looks exactly the same as when we lived there 20+ years ago. 
This is where some of us went to elementary school. Albany Elementary is now Albany Consolidated School. I don't know what that means considering they have an all encompassing complex built on and around the old high school.
I did Kindergarten and 4th grade in these trailers. They may look less appealing but they had AC and private bathrooms.
ere is the playground that was built while we attended school there. To us it was state of the art. Then we moved to NH and had a 50 ft slide. This, not so great anymore.
Here is the general store where we bought tons of bubble gum and swedish fish. Even though it is now a pizza place/video store/tanning salon, it still makes my jaw hurt a little at the memory of 10 pieces of bubble gum in my mouth.
The middle section of this used to be the high school. It also used to look different. Now it is a giant complex that strethces on much beyond this picture and houses the entire district with the exception of Albany Consolidated School which houses a mystery.

Sorry it looks ugly. This is NOT how it looked in the preview. Blogger has not eased my rage at all today.
Oh, the memories. Our house looks downright FANCY now. We always had a big front porch, but never that lovely fence-ish thing around it.
Very, very cool. Thanks for trip down memory lane!
The porch looks very different and it made me think my memories were wrong. But then showed Mom and she confirmed my memories were RIGHT! She enjoyed the photos (but since she doesn't blog or comment on blogs...).
I like what you've done with the place (blog and house alike).
I have also noticed that you have decorated to look like 'The Ohio State'. Did you do that on purpose in your allegiance to Ohio?
Thanks and no. I have no loyalty to OSU colors. I just clicked through the formats until I got bored of looking and left it on the last one I looked at.
Wow, everyone's houses look so improved! But I don't miss any of them. I like my house now way better. Thanks for the memories!
Love, Mama Yeagley

Anonymous, you are very brave.
Oh, the memories! Thanks Phil! I remember throwing rotten tomatoes at the boys in the pool/garden. Skimming is not all its cracked up to be. That little house looks much better with a porch. K and 1st. Did we all have Mrs. Wheeler? I spent hours in 2nd hanging down from that dome thing. And going to H.S. basketball games with your family--the night life!
did you go to albany recently?
