Gift Story - The Houses These Stories Could Tell

 

1. Bed Springs

This is a gift to all my loyal and much loved readers. It is based on a journey TheHubs and I took one day. We turned a corner and saw a lovely old house, sitting alone. It was abandoned, but it had a look of a place that had seen a great deal of life beneath its roof. Houses have a soul to me, and this one seemed to have a history, a lifetime of families and special moments spent there. Suddenly, I wished with all my might I could take a time machine back to that perfect, golden moment when this house was thriving, alive with people, a time when its soul was in the middle of its heyday. This story is the product of that wish.

2. In The Good Old Summertime

This is part two of this four-part story. I originally called the series The Moment Visitor, which is Anne's official 'job description', if you will. This is the first of the four stories that I actually wrote, and the one that came from that first conversation we had about houses and their heydays. The funny thing about it is that when I tried to retrace my steps and find the house so I could photograph it, I could not. Even though I am sure of the route we took that day, and no matter how many times we return to those roads, we can't locate it. Perhaps it, too, wants to keep its secrets.
