Great post Cheryl. I feel the same way when I look at abandoned houses. I always hear the echos of the past people who lived there. It is sad. I hope you get a windfall and can buy Liberty.

Oh my goodness, this is fabulous! Well, of course the house -it looks magical - and the location and history and everything else. And even more so, it becoming the centerpiece of your next novel! And who knows, maybe from there the money will come!

Abandoned houses do indeed seem sad, waiting, either in despair or full of hope and longing. I still feel that most houses are alive. They carry an energy, much like a personality.

You are extremely kind to reference my writing. Yes, the pull, the movement forward, as if already ordained, already written in time and has just been waiting for us to catch up to it.

I'm excited to see how this story unfolds - in fiction and in life!
