ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a post! Very creative. I'm shocked, though, to see the flag hanging backwards on Mary Todd Lincoln's house.
ReplyDeleteKathy, so smart! Each house says a lot, doesn't it. Truly enjoyed it, even my ball and chain walked over and took a look.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this - so clever, creative and fun to see!!
ReplyDeleteIt's refreshing to see some cerebral writing in addition to lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteI would love to live in Mamie Eisenhower's childhood home.
Always look forward to your posts, Kathy.

Hello:
ReplyDeleteAh!! Can we ever escape from our roots and deny our past? It would appear not, and such a shame for Miss Middleton, unlike others here, whose childhood home is, at best, unassuming. But, what a fascinating post!
Thank you so much for visiting our blog and becoming a Follower. We are more than delighted to reciprocate.
I was completely absorbed in this sequence of homes and origins! Fascinating stuff! And a slice of social history too, illustrating how much things have changed.
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteThat post was very cool!
was longing for you and the blog ...
Hugs
Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for a new post from you. I hope that you are happily busy, and if not, that you are doing ok!
Camille
Hi Kathy :)
ReplyDeleteLovely works!
I would like to know if I can use some of your pictures from older posts, for my web design
(with credit of course).
For example: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5AWI_u2yZmE/TBrcnyrMrtI/AAAAAAAABqQ/k80G9UsRxUw/s400/img_7378-stack-of-books-q67-303x500.jpg
Thanks
What a wonderful post! Clearly Mary Todd Lincoln's childhood home had been renovated as this is stylistically too late. But the whole collection is an interesting study!
ReplyDeleteGreat post - very enlightening.
