Google Earth


I downloaded Google Earth and then proceeded to try to find the homes of everyone I know on it.  Some photos came up clear and some couldn't be seen at all.  My current home  showed up with a little work.  If the exact address is not on the satellite's list you have to go up and down the street a while, then maybe turn around to find it.

This is the house Wayne and I had built when we lived in Boise, Idaho.  My Dad came and built the fireplace which I LOVED so much, and he also put the brick around the front.  When we built it, it was dark brown but the yard looks pretty much the same.  This is where Shon went to school for the first time, and Amy was born when we lived here.  It is a very sentimental house for me.  The windows were large and extended clear to the floor so I could see everything and it was my first real chance to decorate, one of my favorite hobbies. I thought it was heavenly with it's large open beams in the living room, custom made cabinets and rock floor entry, all which I picked out.  Now I will be able to see it's progression or decay whenever I want.  It's a little spooky though isn't it?  If you plan to sunbathe in the nude this summer, you may want to change your plans.
