Plus, they were probably left SPEECHLESS by all your magnificent touches, decorating and collections. It's all pretty mind-boggling, I bet!<br /><br />Take care!<br /><br />-PamPam of Eastlake Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149348967860577425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-43814015705489768642011-05-27T19:29:32.940-07:002011-05-27T19:29:32.940-07:00Richard, I have been following your blogs, and I m...Richard, I have been following your blogs, and I must say the house is very beautiful, we had a nice day last week visiting your lovely town from Corpus Christi Texas. We were not able to view the inside since we arrived late that afternoon and we enjoyed a nice visit with Mrs Marilyn Crow on North 3rd st, a family friend of the Jackson's. Last October my daughter and I did visit you in your shop and the hospitality from you made us feel very welcome. I am sure everybody enjoyed the house it is beautiful on the outside I can only imagine the inside! We look forward to visiting again in two months maybe then we can see the inside. <br />Dr Phillip & Rose JacksonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-37055918104923356282011-05-25T20:36:55.319-07:002011-05-25T20:36:55.319-07:00Richard, your home is so beautiful...I just know t...Richard, your home is so beautiful...I just know they loved it!

I don't see HOW they could fail to be charmed by your house -- it is so lovely, and so welcoming. And I am positive that you are just as warm and welcoming in person as you are in your blog.<br /><br />I think sometimes people just don't know what to say! At least I like to think that could explain their lack of glowing remarks. <br /><br />But would you do it again? :-)<br />CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-44500701682281198052011-05-24T12:06:53.165-07:002011-05-24T12:06:53.165-07:00Porches are one of my favorite things, and yours i...Porches are one of my favorite things, and yours is just beautiful!Wsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-81219203528410934762011-05-23T12:50:10.897-07:002011-05-23T12:50:10.897-07:00Spectacular historic home.

Sometimes I just have to be Still and rest in all of Creation and the Lord to focus on how truly Blessed we are even during the challenges of Life Issues! I find that when I refocus on what to be grateful for, well, amazing things happen that I never asked or dreamed of! I had been quite down with the strains of Family Health issues, money problems and Single Parenting stresses... a few times I was no behaving in the Fruits of the Spirit and it made me quite upset with myself and hard on myself actually for not coping better. When I got back to Center an amazing thing happened... without even asking Help came my way and my G-Son has been sponsored to attend the Church Camp he had so desperately wanted to go on but which we could not afford right now!!! I'm so happy you are encouraged by this Post that spoke to my own Heart & Spirit and why I decided to share it... Love... Dawn...

No wonder they forgot their manners.<br /><br /> I do think you are very brave to open your house to complete strangers.

We think that it all looked splendid and such a lot for people to see and experience.<br /><br />But we know exactly what you mean about not knowing at the end whether it was all worthwhile. For many years, we had a garden which was open to the public and of the thousands of visitors who came, only a few really did give feedback. So many others did not say anything and this does make one feel rather down at having gone to so much trouble.<br /><br />All we can say is that your many readers love it all!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-62917110541314432672011-05-21T13:48:24.871-07:002011-05-21T13:48:24.871-07:00Just found your blog and I love it.
