I am sure that the photo with you and your parents on the porch of that home is a treasure to you. And how cool that Grayden's ancestors opened and operated Shield's Tavern!

It's nice to hear you have visited there as well.<br />My background wallpaper is by William Morris--it's his Strawberry Thief wallpaper. I just love his art and his work.
