When I uploaded the picture, it was going to be a short post...<BR/><BR/>Hilda - I liked how the sky and the house blended so well.<BR/><BR/>Bibi - I rent an old house that's about the same age and size as this blue one. <BR/><BR/>Ron - Maybe I should pass a collection plate...<BR/><BR/>Halcyon - I would love to see more European housing design tried over here. I also envy their tradition of garden allotments for city dwellers.<BR/><BR/>P - I guess I don't feel too inhibited about views of houses from the street, but if someone was sitting on the porch or playing in the yard, I would have refrained - to allow them privacy of their "person" enjoying their own home, if that makes any sense.<BR/><BR/>Chuck - I'm astonished! That fits so well! Are you sure you didn't just pick that one out? Thanks for transcribing it in any case. It fits the times.<BR/><BR/>Kris - I'm glad to hear you're secure in your home financing. Things are going to get worse around here for quite a while.<BR/><BR/>Thank you all for attending my little rant, and singing along!USelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551995221350532168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345176050895872295.post-63753214071169601302009-01-08T22:04:00.000-08:002009-01-08T22:04:00.000-08:00pleasant sight!pleasant sight!magiceyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848851692951192508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345176050895872295.post-51128942383667182182009-01-08T20:13:00.000-08:002009-01-08T20:13:00.000-08:00They call it "the great Australian dream" around t...They call it "the <B>great</B> Australian dream" around these parts.<BR/><BR/>I never thought that I'd be a homeowner, but we were lucky and got in at the right time.
