I've often said if I had unlimited money, I would gather them up and save them all ~ gently restored to their former selves; and make my own little village. The only street thru my village would be called Memory Lane. Old HOuses need someone to love them and to listen for whispers from their past. :))) Great poem.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229439546427952540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-26370183449849304122013-03-04T08:07:54.081-06:002013-03-04T08:07:54.081-06:00Thank you for the Kilmer poem; I'd never seen ...Thank you for the Kilmer poem; I'd never seen it before. I, too, lament the loss of an old home, especially when their ruin is unnecessary. Yes, they do cost more to heat and maintain, but they also offer history, continuity, and stability.
