I would love to touch base with you again to discuss the house, but am not sure how to get in touch. Please e-mail me. Jane Macelhenney:

It can definitely be a money saver to dry your clothes outside (and they smell fresh!). I love making my own laundry soap to help save. The recipe is at www.savemoneytoday.net That is ridiculous!!

I thought it was ridiculous. People are way too long on appearances and too short on practicality these days. I'd love to have a clothesline here, but we don't and I'm not too terribly sure of where we'd put it if we did. Regardless, when we finally buy a house, if it doesn't have one, it's going to be one of the first things on my list.

There are three homes on that one wooded street that are very very well kept secrets They were built starting in 1957 by Architect Galen Schlosser who worked with the Louis Kahn firm. Mr. Schlosser was the supervising architect on both the famous Salk Institute in La Jolla and the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas and apparently a huge design influence for the Kahn firm . THe homes are lovely from the outside, but just jaw droppingly beautiful inside. Hardly anyone even knows they are there! Also, a few other examples on Apologen Street right behind them by others. Worth checking out if you are into the modernist architecture of the era. Hi -

I have really enjoyed compiling all the old photos of my neighborhood. It's nice to see that there are readers (like you) who enjoy them as much as I do. Thanks so much for your kind words! Jen,
