I have so enjoyed becoming friends with Lyn and Teri, the Wardwell sisters who grew up in the house and whose family owned the property for generations. They both live in California, and we stay in touch via emails and texts. Several months ago, Lyn made me the spectacular offer of the cast iron stove that sat in her upstairs bedroom on Stokes Westernville Road. It was forged in the village of Delta and has always been in her possession. She is getting ready to downsize, and the stove is just too big. As long as I could figure out how to get it back east, I could return it to its perch...Well yesterday was moving day!! A company called ShipSmart removed the stove from Lyn's home. They will package it up at their warehouse and safely (fingers crossed!) haul it across the country over the next 2 weeks. Here are some photos of phase 1. Once it arrives, I will post pictures of its homecoming.
