I'm gonna wake up any second!" Between the camper, the adorable stripmall store front and that vintage victorian artsy fartsty awesome house with the banister I would hate to leave, I realigned my jaw with the floor. <br />Can't say how fun that was to travel on this vicarious trip and now I'm wondering why in the hell did I build a house in the middle of nowhere in Missouri.... *sigh.<br />Thank you SO much for sharing all the fun.
