I'd go just about anywhere!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454841194149956666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-83382138869663437572008-03-22T10:18:00.000-04:002008-03-22T10:18:00.000-04:00I've been there, too.

I've never heard of the Winchester House and the story is fascinating in a sick way. She must've been paying those carpenters higher than normal wages to keep them doing work which they must have known was ridiculous. So sad to think of someone living in fear and delusion like that, living and dying totally alone.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I'm sure your dogs will be thrilled to see you!Laurie Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330756465929904994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-73394391269956802652008-03-21T21:43:00.000-04:002008-03-21T21:43:00.000-04:00And the bathrooms (with those big, old tubs) with ...And the bathrooms (with those big, old tubs) with glass windows in the doors so she could look in on them while they were in the bathroom?

How about the servants quarters with windows in the ceiling so she could look down on them and make sure they weren't doing anything they shouldn't do? But you're right. It does make your heart ache for such a wasted life.<BR/><BR/>Robin<BR/>http://robinlee.typepad.comRobin Lee Hatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205118960775727153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-65871796351932010852008-03-21T20:16:00.000-04:002008-03-21T20:16:00.000-04:00Oh wow.
