What fun!!! I love old houses like these. Mickey and I must make a trip over there some time and snoop around a bit. We've been to the Precious Moments museum but didn't really take time to "visit" Carthage. You have inspired us.

Hi Michelle,
What beautiful homes. We rarely see that style architecture in this part of CA. It's more the Spanish influence here..

Goodness! That town has some lovely homes. I'm a big looker when it comes to pretty homes, the older the better. Oh and the big porches. I miss the good old days when everyone sat on their front porch in the summer and chatted with people that strolled by. Reminds me of my Grandparents. Everyone knew they'd be out front and ready and willing to visit and it never failed, there was always a few people that sat a spell.

Marlin Perkins...is that the guy from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom? Do I have the right man in mind? I loved that show as a kid.
