Flower Garden Quilt Block
Betty desperately longed for a home on one level but until the day Raymond saw the “house of his dreams” while delivering equipment, a new house was out of the question.
The new house turned out to be a three level A Frame set in a beautiful wooded area on their farm. It had a kitchen on two floors. Betty worked tirelessly on tall ladders to stain and varnish the vaulted ceilings in the beautiful home. This was a far cry from the one level home she desired. She developed gardens that held flowers gathered from family over the years. Her gardens at the A Frame were spectacular, creek rock and all.
Granddaughter, Kendrah remembers: We had so many memories in the A Frame house. I can still remember that house so clearly from the plaid carpet, to the red bathroom, to the most comfortable bed ever, to the gas pump at the end of the drive way to the hidden key. Growing up, that house was about my favorite place to be. I thought surely the world would end when the A frame days were over, but instead I learned something special about our family. No matter how amazing the house, it wasn’t what I loved so much. It was the love and security that I felt from my family.
I remember this A-frame and wondered why anyone would ever want all of those steps to contend with. It was a very unique home and wherever Betty was it was going to be something special! The saying "Home is where the heart is" holds very true for the Boley family as well as for any of us!
