  • An amazing backyard western village. Former teacher, Kenneth White spent over 5 years building a replica wild west village from the 1880's right in his backyard. White built everything from scratch including a saloon, a church with beautiful stained glass windows and an old-fashioned western jail complete with a prisoner in the bed. Ever the great teacher, Kenneth used his western village to teach kids about life in the old days. Sadly Kenneth passed away in 2016 and we dedicate this episode to his memory.

    His grandkids must have a blast there.

No doubt The Good Lord was thinking about people like the late Mr. Kenneth White when he mentioned people that were the salt of the earth. Treasure our elders, once their gone we won’t see anything like them.

    I never thought about it before, but if I ever own a guest house it would be really fun to make it an old west saloon. Entertain downstairs with the bar and tables where we could have drinks, play poker, socialize, party, and bring in food from the main house kitchen, and there would be at least two guest rooms upstairs themed like a fancy brothel. It would be satisfying to have other people visit and enjoy it. I could host parties with a bartender. The saloon in my backyard, an idea to file away in my brain and just maybe pull out someday. Thanks for the inspiration, Mr. White.
