[QUOTE="Happy!, post: 40841, member: 237"]Wonderful pics you all are sharing. The OP's pictures reminded me of my grandparents' story. My grandparents, just married, bought their "dream home" with what little they had saved. Grandma loved the bay window it had, pretty fancy back then! They barely got to live it in when the Depression hit and they lost their house and all that money. They bought a pretty beat up old house and lived there until they died. Mom recalls Gpa bringing flour from the mill to make a paste to fill in the holes in the walls during the Dust Bowl. It never completely worked. They were very stoic about it all, but G'ma always yearned for the bay window in the lost house. My mother recently moved into a house with a bay window and it often makes her remember her Mom.[/QUOTE]
