I'm just sure that they have listened and taken to heart even if they appeared to be ignoring me. How wacky about the house in McKinney?!?! I saw the tail end of that episode and will now have to pull it up on demand.

Even if they are silent now, we're hopefully germinating the seeds for their futures.<br />Family history....lucky for me, mine has been extensively researched on both sides. We have copies of some very cool documents on my dad's side where [then] Gov James Monroe (to be our 5th Pres) granted property to my forefathers in [then] Virginia, now West Virginia.<br />I could've sure used those two from Yours, Mine & Ours when my husband and I combined households....come to think of it, right now would be a good time too, as we're heading into renovation and update mode, trying to marry our styles for bath and kitchen. Please wish us luck. Meanwhile, how cool to have your targeted home featured! I'll have to check that out! Have a great weekend, Katie!<br />Rita C at PanoplyRita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-25577698546286251272016-10-20T05:08:21.650-07:002016-10-20T05:08:21.650-07:00Your number 7 is the essence of life.

My parents lived in downtown McKinney when I was born until I was two. It's the cutest, little house!! I kinda wish they would have never sold it!

My eyesight used to be fabulous. Then reading glasses and I became best friends. (why is the print on all items purchased in a drug store so tiny???)

My uncle attempted to figure out the family tree, but stopped when he found out my grandfather (his dad) sneaked into the US illegally from Canada! He did love Montreal! I will look for that show as I think I've seen every HGTV show a million times! Have you seen Welcome Back Potter on HGTV? Monica Potter from Parenthood moved back to Cleveland and bought and is re-doing the family home with her sisters -- sweet show! Have a great rest of the week.

I love the decorator shows but have grown weary of the ones that have monopolized HGTV for much too long now. Except for Fixer Upper of course. But, how fun to see something so familiar on TV and especially a house you had considered.Elizabeth "Libby" Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145264016754286426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-43232744740135721572016-10-19T05:42:38.628-07:002016-10-19T05:42:38.628-07:00Well, how interesting is that Katie!
