Title: Old Emanis House near the Emanis Lake
"My family lived in this house back in the woods when I was a very young boy. They say I was not old enough to remember, but I do. My sister, Jackie, would make mud pies and talk me into taking a bite. They tell me that I loved butter and would eat it with a spoon. My mother would churn the butter into a rounded mound. I guess I could not reach the butter so I threw a spoon into the mound. It was found the next day in the middle of the butter."
"The house is long gone but there is tin and bricks left."
