The Old Spooner Place

The old Spooner place is less than a house, more than rotting painted wood.

He worked on Walter Young's old place with your Grandpa Wood."

"The two of them fished with your brother. Bill carved that little red canoe

With the bow with the pole with the line with the fish on the shelf in your rec room."
