on the back porch of our old house one Christmas. Take note of the circa 1680 table it is placed on! Mercy I am glad that was passed on to a friend before the house fire in 2005. Jack loved it and always kept it in his bedroom, upstairs where those things got the worst of it. Mama took a first place ribbon many years before at the state fair of Texas with the little red house. She made the building before components for such were available to all. The shingles were cut out of cork, She made much of the furniture and quilted the tiny quilts and so on. I come by my love of New England red houses quite naturally. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
