It is still referred to in the village as either "The Proctor's House" or "Margaret Proctor's house." Which I find amusing, and I encourage the continued use of. Shortly after we bought it, we interviewed a contractor who had worked on the house when Mrs. Proctor still owned it, who responded to some of our ideas that he wasn't sure that what we were proposing would fly with the owner of the house, who was very opinionated on such matters. When we pointed out to him that we were the owners, he got somewhat confused, as he obviously thought Mrs. Proctor still did! Needless to say, we did not engage his services.Reggie Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044215790585354363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185045903146972312.post-56103584735954309642010-10-19T01:37:21.680-04:002010-10-19T01:37:21.680-04:00In a slight variation on the theme, you omitted my...In a slight variation on the theme, you omitted my favorite direction -- "Go to (name of nearby village) and turn left where the store used to be." An accurate and perfectly understood direction for anyone who has lived in our charming part of the world for at least 15 years.<br />Currently I am on a brief visit to my childhood home east of Los Angeles, where almost nothing <br />remains from that period, the orange groves and strawberry fields having been replaced by malls and housing developments. Occasionally a remnant of the earlier California survives but so crowded by franchises and big box stores, as to lose all context.The Sidekicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185045903146972312.post-76843070457095864082010-10-18T23:01:28.451-04:002010-10-18T23:01:28.451-04:00Thank you for the mini tour - it's almost like...Thank you for the mini tour - it's almost like being there.<br /><br />Blogger is treating you a bit better I hope.Raina Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01095323923070587294noreply@blogger.com
