Doncha just love it? We looked at old and new construction, ranch homes, houses in town and out, all kinds. But my heart kept coming back to this one (the first one we looked at actually.) It was the one house I could see myself living in and making into our home. In 16 years, I’ve never once regretted it. And we’ve had far less problems (just routine maintenance) than my mom with her newly constructed townhouse.

Our houses have character, don’t they?

One thing that I noticed is the bigger the houses the smaller the families. I think some people are choosing to have a bigger house rather than a bigger family.

Don’t live there if you have a problem with incontinence.

Nope. Wrong house. Taliesin was the house that wright lived in himself.

Taliesin west was a school of architecture in arizona founded by wright. I think it’s still functioning.

Thanks. I knew Taliesin was his house. I confused the two.

Character...yes. Our house even has a ghost. I never believed in them until we “met” ours.

My incontinence is easier to clean up with the river running through it.
