Not so much in Oregon...we trace ancientness back to the 1970's :(.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594462692745834262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405235946922980965.post-55435095474115744782013-05-30T15:12:07.574-04:002013-05-30T15:12:07.574-04:00I can't wait to see the photos and description...I can't wait to see the photos and descriptions of nearby historic places, especially Olanna!

What a place you live in; you are making me now think about where I live. This is what a writer does, makes the reader THINK about things they otherwise would forget.<br /><br />I live in the land of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Bob Dylan, Judy Garland and a host of others who I suspect used these long winters to ponder and create works of art. I must investigate these giants in the artistic field!<br /><br />Have an inspirational day, AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405235946922980965.post-2124270729432924522013-05-30T03:59:54.467-04:002013-05-30T03:59:54.467-04:00We too are blessed living in a beautiful, historic...We too are blessed living in a beautiful, historical area. Our history tends to be more around kings, queens, and the French Revolution. Although the châteaux of the Loire Valley are quite close, I'm just as interested in the quaint villages and appreciate their simple charm.Keirnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405235946922980965.post-38415890137991857942013-05-30T03:30:50.558-04:002013-05-30T03:30:50.558-04:00I believe that it is an age thing - the older you ...I believe that it is an age thing - the older you get the more interested in history you become, and especially so about the area you are residing in. My H always has a history book on the go - he is half way through reading the History of England - I think he has reached Henry VIII.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.com
