Very fun to read! I remember when I sold real estate back in the 90's :o) There was this big old house I had sold, and when I looked at the deed on it, it said that they had paid $3,200.00 for it back in the 50's or whenever it was built. Wouldn't that be nice, a 2 story, 5 bedroom house, with hardwood floors for $3200! You pay more than that for almost anything used to build a house these days.
Ooh if life could be that simple - but then I wouldn't be writing a blog post would I, lol.
