The medium was hoping to contact the man himself. He never showed up.

I noticed from an earlier post that you both visited Orchard House over the summer...my husband and I visited last spring and loved it. I had been there when I was young, but didn't remember much of it. I am so glad I went again. I've read Little Women soooo many times now and the 1994 version of the movie is one of my all time favorites!Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789738602297831459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-35798676608869366832007-12-15T18:22:00.000-05:002007-12-15T18:22:00.000-05:00I would love to be able to see his home.

Since we're in northern Illinois we're not far from Hannibal, Missouri where Twain grew up and got all his material for the Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn books. Be sure to visit this lovely little town if you're ever driving through the midwest.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475380451527801666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-60894897387131539242007-12-14T14:36:00.000-05:002007-12-14T14:36:00.000-05:00You're such a good mom!

My mom called those adventures "mental health days"--you know, where we all do something where we learn, improve our mental health, and take a break from school. It never failed to delight us as kids.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028506404055347307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-25628898614166061802007-12-13T18:42:00.000-05:002007-12-13T18:42:00.000-05:00Looks like a fabulous place :)Looks like a fabulous place :)Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16315635566608283734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-53424142681837700452007-12-13T11:20:00.000-05:002007-12-13T11:20:00.000-05:00Thank you for the visits of the homes and the link...Thank you for the visits of the homes and the links.
