Will be on the lookout for the House on Maple Street. Sounds right up my alley (ha!). Merry Christmas to you and wishes for a wonderful new year, too. <br /><br />Elizabeth, you've reminded me of the draw of attic stairs, wow. What stories they could tell. And what about the Nancy Drew title: The Mystery of the Hidden Staircase? We could explore all kinds of stairs, couldn't we? Thanks for stopping by. Wishes for a wonderful holiday season and new year to you!<br /><br />Cathy, I was happy to hear you had a similar experience with the builder of your once-upon-a-time house. It was a pretty special occurrence. Merry Christmas to you--I'm betting your house already smells like gingerbread and is beautifully decorated :-)Kenda Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972218446945404475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-28354937592004289952014-12-23T22:32:57.454-05:002014-12-23T22:32:57.454-05:00When I was moving into my first very old house as ...When I was moving into my first very old house as a bride, the builder happened by as well, and told me stories of living there with his bride. It's always nice to know a house has a happy history.<br /><br />As to stairs and being in the middle, aren't we always? Or it seems that way.<br /><br />This was such a wonderful post. I'm going to attemp to write one in the morning. <br /><br />Have a very wonderful Christmas.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900383840255608898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-36892915892966529442014-12-23T11:15:35.222-05:002014-12-23T11:15:35.222-05:00What a lovely post this was!

I love the idea of stairs, although in our house, the only stairs go down to the basement, and when I was growing up, it was usually in apartments or rentals in one-story homes. But stairs appeal to my imagination, and your post revived that. I can picture so many stories involving staircases to hidden rooms, to attics, whatever. Have a great Christmas, and take time to sit on the stairs in your lovely old house. How nice that must have been to meet the builder.

It's about all the people who lived in a particular spot over many years.<br /><br />Hope this Christmas season adds to your memory collection. Happy Holidays to all your readers!<br />Peggy Harkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606792382935763886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-30740299365181866842014-12-23T01:40:49.162-05:002014-12-23T01:40:49.162-05:00I wish I had a special stair, where I could sit an...I wish I had a special stair, where I could sit and think.<br />Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to you Kenda.Rachna Chhabriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900999965919504282noreply@blogger.com
