I become more quaint on a daily basis.

Well done and you can tell by the responses that you found a lot of kindred spirits.

Since we moved a lot when we first moved to Pgh all the houses we lived in have a particular memory for me. Some are traumatic, some warm pleasant family things, all a part of my childhood. Must write a book some day.

Well done. I have heard about the manse so many times from Ellen and your folks. What a wonderful home to be a child in.

I have dreams about our home and country house with regularity. I guess one never leaves in one’s heart.

I sometimes dream that I am in that house, too. I remember the smell of the attic in the summertime, the old wood, the splinters in the ladder to the widow’s watch, the thrill of being higher than anyone or anything including the treetops.
I remember the day I was standing on the landing between the first and second floors and hearing a strange almost groan, then watching part of the old plaster ceiling crash to the floor in the front entryway downstairs. I screamed and Mom came running, certain I’d been buried in horsehair plaster and dust!

Thanks. I just hope they don’t have to turn it into office space to find a buyer.

What a beatuiful home! Any chance that you could purchase it as a second home, (a reprieve from the hot Texas summers) or a rental? I’d love for you to be able to wander it’s rooms again.

You are not alone. Just the other day I saw a sign at the gas station saying “No Solicitation” and realized that this could prohibit several types of behavior….

People think I’m nuts when I see things like this and make a comment like you did! It’s clearly not just me, and I’m relieved to know I am not alone!
