Christine. I just had to send you a card of my house at Christmas.

Oh thank you Barb, I it! I’m so glad to see it. She is a Grand Dame of a house. You even have wrought iron fencing! What a beautiful little card. I’m enjoying all your cards. I expect I will get your card in the mail hopefully soon.

Ellen, the picture of your card didn’t turn out so I couldn’t post it.. Ellen should have a card of my very first house. Built in 1843 and supposedly is on the haunted houses in the city list. It was kind of creepy. Black walls and ceilings and woodwork when we moved in. Of course I brightened it up a bit but the house was only 10,000 dollars and we couldn’t get a mortgage only a personal loan for it at the time. We fixed it up and sold it and now my Victorian house is only an across the street and down a block. My husband and my dad were putting on a roof for it and they were tired so they didn’t cover the roof. My dad told my husband to cover the roof and he told my dad that it wouldn’t be a problem because God would take care of it.. guess what it rained that night so he had to go up nd cover the roof in the rain… he still believes in God. He (my husband) was warned. Merry Christmas Ellen, I had to give you a story for Christmas.

Oh, that’s really interesting about the haunted house. And your poor hubby having to go up on that roof! Did you have any haunting experiences in the haunted house BARB?
I’ve been promising to tell Ellen about some of the experiences I had over the years, but especially in my one house in my late 20s. I just have to summon up the energy to write it all down. Or dictate it. There is a lot.
Maybe Ellen can take a picture of the card when she receives it and post it here. I would love to see it.
