...and to steal a quote from Dorothy.."there's no place like home". A beautifully soft and soothing poem.

Love the big windows which lets you glimpse the outside world from within. Can feel the warmth of "home". A good story behind the sign. Excellent. 7

I love these types of old buildings -- you can almost feel the history and stories they hold . . . truly a good sign. Best of luck. 7
