I would love to hear some of the stories of the history of the house, I have always been interested in them. When I was a kid growing up in Chicago there were so many old grand Victorians with really cool history. The neighborhood where I grew up was in the Frank Loyd Wright district and Ernest Hemmingway owned a home 2 blocks away, The radio Icon Paul Harvey was my next door neighbor.


AL

You lived next to Paul Harvey?!!

You know he was originally from Tulsa - his boyhood home is not far from me - just on the other side of downtown. I'm sorry to say that old house has not been taken care of and it's now sad.

Here's a photo of my house - can you guess which date this picture was taken?

WOW City, what a neat looking house. With all the history and a tunnel to the river. That is just too much.

Thanks all - I love my place and am blessed to have found it. It's not in the best neighborhood, but I feel pretty safe and am careful.

Here is a photo of my favorite "room"!

My kids werent too bad just cant find my house. With all of my kids floating in a nd out and their friend that come and go with them they have destroyed every corner of the house. Looks like Monday will be spent finding the floors.

I get to do that Tuesday. Monday I have to work all day. Hopefully I will get my Tuesday off like I'm supposed to. Last week I ended up working both days off, Tuesday and Thursday. I hope this week is a little bit slower. Apparently I get to find the floor and then clean it. I suppose that is why he bought me the new carpet cleaner last night.

I have one of those.. My DH knows how to use it so if I dont get to it he will. And the funny thing is, if the kids get a chance they will clean the carpets too. I usually try to keep them from doing it cause they usually mess up the sucktion some how.
