What a lovely house you grew up in! I couldn't help but giggle at you teasing DSis like that, but isn't that what a little sister is for??

What a wonderful old house! I do rahther wish that I lived in one like that. Beanie, I was out shopping today and a cashier so much reminded me of you. She was so cheerful and knew her stuff. I was extra nice to her and thanked her extraly, because I want the people at the Home Despot to treat you well. Sort of karma-ish. XOFiFi

Seeing the house brought back bitter-sweet memories! Don't remember you scarring 'D' that way, but I'm not surprised! One of my memories was looking out of the west window of my room and seeing the colored strings of lights across the street in "cowtown" at Christmas time.

What a great old house, from the outside it looks a little like mine! What a shame they burned it down, I guess it was too far gone to save? I'd have cried to see that, even if it wasn't my house!

You were accurate on all those details about the number of doors and such. The "bed-thing" in the toy room was a chaise lounge, and I wish I had that now. It was a classic. I SO remember the you-scaring-me-thing. Only ONE of us thought that was funny. (Heh!) You finally stopped doing that when Dad said I could take a glass of water along and throw it at you if you did it again. I never got the opportunity to do that. I have a bunch of the doors from the house if you ever want one -- you figure how to get it to SD!

I love the photos of your old house. The story of you scaring your sister was wonderful. You're a great storyteller!

In describing your shopping, you reminded me of my mother. She always said, "you have to learn to eat the specials." Some people never learn to do that.

Oh, what a lovely home. And such wonderful memories. It's a shame it was burned. Take up your sister's offer for one of the doors if you can.

I agree with Rosie, what a shame that house couldn't be rehabilitated...it could have been great for a big family. I remember living with an aunt and uncle and the upstairs farm house was a finished attic...no heat but we played up there in the warmer weather...stored all our old comics and toys...I sure wish I had them now!!!!
