On the Way to Market

Last weekend as I previously posted, we went to Dallas Market for two days. On the way we stopped in the small town of Fairfield and here was this same house I had oohed and ahhed over about 20 years ago
when making the trip to and from Dallas where I went to school.  I stopped here that earlier time and this old
house was for sale to be moved. It is behind a Dairy Queen. 
This trip the house was still there and apparently no one had bought it or saved it. It sat there so forlorn
and I could still dream of moving it away, renovating  and saving it. I took some pictures and when back
in the car I told my husband the dream from years ago and he laughed right out loud at it.
I pretended to be hurt over that but in reality, we do not have the money or time to take on a challenge like this. I am posting in hopes that one of you will. This house has always been a landmark for me in between Huntsville and Dallas.
Here it is in all it's gloomy glory.

All she needs is some T.L.C. and she will become the Queen she once was. Thanks for sharing her.....Julian
