Te<br />
Barn<br />
By Carmelita Myers Jean, Christie’s owner<br />
Christie’s on the Square<br />
Great food. Good company<br />
The barn was built sometime between 1926-<br />
1930 by Roy Walker. My dad bought the farm<br />
in 1944 when I was six years old. Te barn is a<br />
symbol of family. I enjoy seeing it and the memories<br />
that it brings.<br />
I remember my mother and dad running a dairy<br />
farm, feeding baby calves, sorting calves and all the<br />
experiences that happen in the barn. I also remember<br />
looking for baby kittens, tromping silage in the<br />
fall, feeding bales of hay to the cows and getting into<br />
trouble when I disobeyed.<br />
Life is a journey of memories and this barn is one of<br />
my fondest childhood memories. Today, I see it as I<br />
drive past and can even see it from the cabin window.<br />
Find treasures in all memories. Just a white barn with<br />
a red roof and with a title “Brookdale Farms” but a<br />
treasure and memory for a child of six years moving<br />
from the big town of Pekin to the country!<br />
