The Gables owned my house for 38 years. They visit and send Christmas letters, and Mary Jane Gable - the mom - has given me old black-and-white polaroids from over the years. It's wonderful to have them, for sure. That would be great, Susan. The Gables owned my house for 38 years.

Also, the ceiling lights in the bedrooms and the dining room were replaced (don't know why). I've replaced the dining room light with a Moe retractable light that I love, but haven't found suitable replacements for the bedrooms yet. Mr. and Mrs. Mess are still alive, in their '90's and living together in a nursing home. Mrs. Mess even sent us a Christmas card, even though we've never met (her sons actually sold the house for them). I think I will send a note, asking if she has any photos that she would be willing to share with me. If she does, I'll be sure to forward them along!

I would give my eyeteeth to have my home's original house plans. Is there any way you can view Mr. and Mrs. Mess' pictures from the past to catch a glimpse on how they decorated? I would love to see pictures of all your original appliances (or were they in an earlier post and I missed it?)! Retropink57 Kitty Mommy
