Reminded me of the blog in which the writer told of a news broadcast showing her childhood home burning down in a fire that actually took two lives. Anyway, can appreciate your feelings.

A friend was in a local architectural clearing house and said she found toilets that were pink, green and lavender for very cheap prices LOL Decorating is the ever changing way... <br />Thanks for the great 360 photography- it was truly amazing...<br />Hugs,<br />Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-2956696221139600362010-09-13T02:34:23.115+10:002010-09-13T02:34:23.115+10:00Everything becomes a memory eventually.

Sometime over the last few years it has been torn down. It was where we first lived. Sad to see it gone.
