The rooms are picture perfect but I don't see touches of real life .ike photos of loved ones, books laying about being read, knickknacks that have a personal memory. It all is so sterile, the blanket perfectly sitting in the back of the sofa, never been placed on a sleeping child or husband, or pans hanging from the ceiling but never a grease smudge left on it from cooking a meal for loved ones. Recently someone came in our home (for business) and commented about how many photos I had of my family. I agree I have a lot but I love seeing the memories right there, everywhere I turn, reminding me of the special bond I have with these people in the photos. No, people can have their big oversized houses. They will never be what I want, which is a true place to call home. I'm already blessed so many times over! <br /><br />Ouida Gabriel Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-90599803958211051502017-08-31T16:17:17.994-07:002017-08-31T16:17:17.994-07:00I was under the impression there was a drought in ...I was under the impression there was a drought in Calif.

This is the reason for a new government rule that requires recording the 'true owners' of houses over $1 or $2 million in certain counties around the US (including LA county). This is because many of these homes are registered under the name of corporations or trusts to hid ownership and the government is concerned about money laundering and that the houses are bought with ill-gotten gains. Of course, I'm sure the real reason is gaining more knowledge and control!Jonathan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476185257203343474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-21891753595911590182017-08-31T11:52:00.195-07:002017-08-31T11:52:00.195-07:00Just this morning I read about this mansion modele...Just this morning I read about this mansion modeled after the Versaille Palace in France.
