I'm sorry about your home, but the pictures you shared with us instead are awesome. I love the shed in the woods. Would be beautiful in black and white, matted and framed! The turkey and cranes are great! At least the end of the journey gave you some peace.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748075364992710186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283002021652370122.post-83818377413707676492010-05-03T06:22:18.196-06:002010-05-03T06:22:18.196-06:00That is sad, such a waste of a human being, and hu...That is sad, such a waste of a human being, and hurt to many others, it's all hard to understand.<br />I am glad you are thinking on pleasant things like wildlife...what a big turkey!<br />Thank you for your comment on my blog.<br />Blessings in your day<br />MarcieThe Rustic Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061053386942991282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283002021652370122.post-71994287091436217152010-05-03T04:39:53.785-06:002010-05-03T04:39:53.785-06:00It must have been very difficult to see your home ...It must have been very difficult to see your home place looking like that Diane.

Sounds like a few movies I've seen, and life is truly captured in some of those movies. It's so sad. I enjoyed reading. I hope you might stop by mine, sometime.

I know it hurts terribly---and to see the condition of HER/YOUR home has to be horrible. <br /><br />What will happen to the house now? Can you sell it as is ---or can it be fixed up??? Do you have siblings to help you with these decisions? I'm so sorry for what you have been through and what you may have to go through. <br /><br />We'll have a HUGE mess when Mom and Dad Adams are gone ---and we have to get rid of the crap in their house.... That will be very hard.<br /><br />Glad you saw the turkey and the cranes while on your trip... Gorgeous pictures.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283002021652370122.post-49660686913538299752010-05-02T19:12:39.725-06:002010-05-02T19:12:39.725-06:00I am so sorry.In part I do understand what can hap...I am so sorry.In part I do understand what can happen when a step-parent joins the family.My step-mother was not someone who helped my dad at all.I will leave it at that.I enjoyed the pictures,there is always something beautiful to see and photograph.Hope your week ahead will be wonderful.<br /> Blessings,Ruth<br />PS,I must add that Jake also had a step=mother,and she was and is a most wonderful person.We love her.Ruth's Photo Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906250839947271541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283002021652370122.post-16809916940913091672010-05-02T19:11:15.586-06:002010-05-02T19:11:15.586-06:00Diane, I'm so sorry to read that you had to se...Diane, I'm so sorry to read that you had to see your old home in a sad state.
