Innocence seldom utters outraged shrieks. Guilt always does.
Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth. [ Siddhartha Gautama ]
If we see cruelty or wrong that we have
the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.

A BIT ABOUT ME, YOUR HOST.
I'M 46 AND HAPPILY MARRIED TO THE GREATEST MAN ON EARTH. [ WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER 14 BLISSFUL YEARS! WOO HOO! ] BOTH SIDES OF MY FAMILY HAVE LIVED WITHIN A MILE OF MY HOUSE FOR CENTURIES WE LIVE IN AN 11 ROOM 18TH CENTURY CENTER-CHIMNEY COLONIAL LOG HOUSE THAT WAS ONCE A BLACKSMITH'S HOUSE. THE HOUSE IS PART OF A WAGON TRAIN STOP-OVER VILLAGE THAT ALSO INCLUDED A WHEEL WRIGHT SHOP, HOTEL AND INN. [THE LOGS ARE COVERED BY SIDING NOW AS THE MAINTENANCE OF LOG HOUSES IS TIME CONSUMING.] THE REAR PART OF THE HOUSE IS A "MODERN" 1900 ADDITION. THE ORIGINAL HAND MADE "BULL'S EYE GLASS" WINDOWS REMAIN, SAFELY GUARDED FROM HARM BY MODERN STORM WINDOWS. WE ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL LOG SMOKEHOUSE THAT NOW FUNCTIONS AS A BUNNY HOUSE. [YOU GET BONUS POINTS IF YOU CAN SPOT THE IBIZAN]......;-D
THE NEW PORCH HAS SINCE BEEN ENCLOSED TO BECOME MY ART ROOM
