Loving old houses and the "ghosts" or memories, Trisher fell in love with the Old Wheeler Home Place 16 years ago. She lovingly restored it. However, due to a divorce settlement the judge ordered her to leave the property and gave it to the husband. My wonderful oldest daughter and her husband bought me a wonderful 4 acre property, which has only been owned by women! In the same area, but now have to restart gardens, etc...We still have the same dreams and goals, just have to start over! We have a great large barn/garage for school and storage.
