Places like that make great wedding venues for small intimate romantic weddings, during the week they are used for business meetings,etc. At least that is the trend out here. Some have been made into a bed and breakfast type. She just BEGS for that TLC and to be put back to use.<BR/><BR/>I want her! :-)<BR/><BR/>MonicaMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02754810369867009112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19113679.post-76380842793119007792009-03-22T13:10:00.000-04:002009-03-22T13:10:00.000-04:00This old house must have loads of history from gen...This old house must have loads of history from generations to generations.<BR/><BR/>Over time, it faded but the spirits live on...thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>Do visit my blog and comment...much appreciated.<BR/>I value your input.<BR/><BR/>Take good care. <BR/>Let's play again in 2 weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19113679.post-60965318578471109802009-03-22T11:31:00.000-04:002009-03-22T11:31:00.000-04:00oh, yeah! she's gorgeous and "imagination" provoki...oh, yeah! she's gorgeous and "imagination" provoking.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19113679.post-67557162617471385012009-03-22T11:18:00.000-04:002009-03-22T11:18:00.000-04:00P.S.
