The Little House

There are some stories that just stay with you into adulthood and "The Little House" is one of them. I remember reading it in elementary school. It's funny how images can bring those memories back like when you get a whiff of perfume that takes you back to a certain place in time or reminds you of a loved one long since passed on.

I have a site that always has some wacky stuff on it. Some of it is nonsense, but other things this author finds are true treasures. Such was the case this evening.

There was a referral to a person who does location scouting for movies in New York City.

Now, I have never been to NYC, have no desire to ever go to NYC, but I have to tell you, if I every find myself there, I will look more closely to the things around me because of this blog.

So, back the "The Little House" story. I found this post and it brought the entire story of this "little house" back into my mind and almost transported me back to the 4th grade.















Do you see it? Do you see the "little house?"
















How wonderful is that? Does your mind go through different possibilities as to how this skinny, little building survived progress?? Or was it built to fill in a void left after the buildings on either side of it were built??

I love it when I find blogs like this. Take a peek if you know anything about NYC. Or I should say, THINK you know anything about NYC and its finds. It is definitely a blog I will be following!!
