Vintage Weekly # 86: William Ruttan's Home

This was the home of William Ruttan,
an ancestor of my late husband.
The first members of the Ruttan family
migrated from France.
Canada is now home to many Ruttans.
Charles' father and his siblings
ventured to Detroit, Michigan.
In the 1950s, Mr. Ruttan and his family
moved to Muncie, Indiana.
He owned a Ford car dealership here.

A very charming little house. It looks rather small but often they had quite large families in a space we think is too small. Thanks for sharing! I wish you a good week!

What a neat old house. From a different time!
I often wonder what our ancestors would think of us opening windows to their lives and posting around the world!

well, Ruby, I hope that they would take the same meaning of intention as my husband's Canadian relative and myself. Because I am thrilled to have one more link to his ancestors for my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
