A wonderful house in Quincy, IL
A much smaller house in Quincy, IL
As you may know, Alice and I like to walk around neighborhoods on our sister trips and take pictures of different houses. Maybe it's the architecture that attracts us, or maybe it's that a house has a pretty garden or has the look of Italy etc. We did quite a bit of that walking around on this past sister trip, but this time it was much more nostalgic. Seeing all those wonderful homes that we'd driven by litterally thousands of times as kids was somehow very theraputic. The smaller house is one that we picked out as our "dream house" for when we someday might live together . . . given that women tend to live longer than men. Our husbands have joked for some time about when ever one of them goes, the other one had better watch his back. Silly boys!!

:goodjob: Congratulations on the retirement. May you enjoy every minute
Like both the houses, they used to build such distinctive homes in all styles.
I'm with BLB. All the new neighborhoods have houses that all look the same. Remember the old song, "Boxes, little boxes, on the hillsides, made of ticky tacky, Boxes, little boxes and they all look just the same."? Only now they are of brick, but they are still all alike.
We should we know, we live in one. Ho hum.
I could be happy there wink
I am ejoying the pictures so much . Keep them coming. :heartbeat: :heartbeat:Mom
Oh what wonderful pictures of the houses. :goodjob: I especially like the first one. I love that style. I told Alice that I'm enjoying the trip ya'll took. Looking forward to more pictures.
Have a blessed week & God keep you safe. HUGS
