Well.. what fun you girls must have had....Hi Carole<br />Well.. what fun you girls must have had. I understand the speaking too fast [and too much thing].. that's me.. but with an aussie accent... <br /><br />That first home is wonderful... and yes we all thought the 2nd one was the antz pantz in the 70's... My childhood home is gone!!.. a block of villa's now.. I looked it up on google maps!! haha.. was sort of sad to think it is gone... although the whole area is somewhere I wouldn't drive these days,, another sad factor..<br /><br />So glad you had a wonderful time with Vanessa.. you must be missing her already .. and I don't think I realised you had a sister!!! I guess that would account for having a niece!! hahahaha<br /><br />Alright .. can't wait to see more of NYC... I will get there one day and you can show me around.. ciao ciao xxx JulieJulie@beingRUBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424920655462727594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-8506838130972686952011-10-30T07:51:32.558-04:002011-10-30T07:51:32.558-04:00What a wonderful visit!

It was great to see the places you grew up and I sure could live in that first house you used to live in. I can see it with a little front garden and hollyhocks along the fence can't you?<br />I know you two will be making memories this visit and memories last a lifetime. You guys will remain close because of them. The memories from the past and the memories you will make in the future.<br />hugs from here...Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283259375743586344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-60758240725559410052011-10-29T11:58:38.956-04:002011-10-29T11:58:38.956-04:00This is fun to hear about your time with your niec...This is fun to hear about your time with your niece and to see your first homes...looking forward to more!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738013703083011762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-21643657210944003412011-10-29T09:38:39.213-04:002011-10-29T09:38:39.213-04:00Such a sweet post brimming with love for your niec...Such a sweet post brimming with love for your niece. I cannot go "home" anymore. The home my parents built now has a funny-looking 2nd story to it, and the whole neighborhood is different. My best friend's home is gone and so are her father's greenhouses... just have to rely on the memories. Your first home is gorgeous!<br />The last time my son & DIL were in town from Japan, we saw them for three hours and then they were off again. Like you, my hope is that we will be able to spend more time together in the future.<br />Have yourself a happy weekend, Carole!<br />~ ZuzuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-26971800868471205352011-10-29T08:33:35.111-04:002011-10-29T08:33:35.111-04:00Carole,

Taking the time...or perhaps stealing back the time...revisiting old memories while making new ones is something we all should do. Loved this post and all that was left unsaid.<br />Debtrash talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508579521854913297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-42974434352589798622011-10-29T01:46:03.808-04:002011-10-29T01:46:03.808-04:00You both must have had a great time together and y...You both must have had a great time together and you were the perfect guide to show Vanessa the places of her childhood. I love the first home you have lived in, Carole. The white wood, the shutters, the fence, large trees on the property ... I would move right in if I could.<br />Hopefully it won't take another 25 years until your niece will be back.<br />Have a great weekend :-)!<br />Hugs to you,<br />JuliaJulia @ Vintage with Laceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099410450914344241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-56441190233821894092011-10-28T19:58:09.020-04:002011-10-28T19:58:09.020-04:00Ok if you and Laura go to France can I come to?

I would love to live in it now !! It's funny how you loved moving to the more modern one as a young girl, but now would love to be back in the older one.<br />I am sure that this visit has made you both realise that you must see each other more often if possible.<br />Looking forward to seeing what you got up to in NYC.

All of the windows make it so very charming. How nice for you two to get reacquainted, I can't wait to see the rest of the visit. I think that the eye opening part for me even pertains to people close by. Getting reacquainted and taking the time to just have a little visit.
