I wished it could have gone on forever. It was also inspirational because we have gone to Asheville, North Carolina, several times, and gone through the lavish Biltmore House and Gardens. <a href="http://www.biltmore.com/visit/house_gardens/default.asp/" rel="nofollow">Biltmore House and Gardens</a> The price per visit is now $49.50 and when we started it was a whopping $26.00 and we thought it outrageous enough back then. Good post. I once followed you and have again. My old popslinc blog was hacked and I pretty much lost everything so I am starting over trying to find the people I once visited on a regular basis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-9096554794125816622012-10-08T08:07:05.507-04:002012-10-08T08:07:05.507-04:00ca devait etre sympa (je vois Halloween se prépare...ca devait etre sympa (je vois Halloween se prépare ;) )Olivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602980523811128510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-36411946078612006152012-10-08T08:01:24.946-04:002012-10-08T08:01:24.946-04:00I lived in Standish for 28 years, and taught in St...I lived in Standish for 28 years, and taught in Standish for 22 years, and I, too, have never been inside the Marrett House (only to the gardens!).
