Remember last month when I found those clothes in the wall and looked up the family who lived in my house when those papers and clothes were stuffed in the wall and I wrote a letter to the lady I guessed must have lived in my house at that time?  Well she wrote me back!!!

I was worried she wasn’t the right person or didn’t want to talk about her past or didn’t remember anything since she was so little.  But none of these things turned out to be true!  She was excited to hear from me, remembers lots of details about the house, and is going to share some of her photos with me when she gets back home (she’s spending the winter down south) at the end of April. 

Here are a couple excerpts from her letter:

“It is surprising how much I do recall of the house - I remember where each room was & some of the placement of furniture. Yes, I do recall a built-in buffet or cabinet in the dining room with windows above it on the south side of that room. I also remember the living room and fireplace, the enclosed front porch, kitchen, bath and 2 bedrooms.”

“We had a cherry tree in the backyard & also a goldfish pond, which my Dad filled in because he didn’t want me to fall in and drown.”

Pretty neat, huh? I’ll keep you up to date about what I hear from her.

Oh, and… I haven’t finished the bathroom sink yet. I don’t have an excuse. I don’t have an explanation. I can only tell you that I slept all weekend. I wasn’t sick, just needed to catch up. (shrug)
