Great title for that, Joni. I was showing a vacant home built in the 40's the other day and I could just visualize it back in it's early days with children playing in the yard. I don't always get visions like that but it was as if this home had many wonderful stories to share and was trying to tell me. Was kind of sad.

a young couple, who knew they were meant for each other and were deeply in loved, purchased a home. For many years they labored in love to make it their castle and to build a family of love. It went well! Then one day the floor of the life they built disappeared. Loss of job and illness created a scenario where they were no longer able to make their mortgage payments.

Joni,

I like the picture and your creative title. If only that home could talk. It was probably a very nice home many years ago.

It would be fun to be able to walk into a place like that, push a button, and get a 1-hour video summary of its life.
