Popular Post Yessongs Posted April 3, 2021 Popular Post Posted April 3, 2021 You know you are getting "older" when wifey tells you that this type of "cultural" event might be fun to go and see. Worse yet, on the way home, you have to tell her she was right! LOL! So this place was built in 1917 up here in a city called " Woodside" Mansion and now a historic landmark here. I had heard about this place, but never saw it. If you were friends with this family back then, that might be a good thing, better yet if they had a Daughter, you might want to be nice to her too.....family was well off. The amazing thing is was we have been in a complete drought here in the Bay Area for the last 2 years, how they keep this place so green and the Tulips/Flowers still look amazing is beyond me. Would not want the water bill for sure. Racahnee thought the whole thing was just fantastic. Of course she said there is probably something "Thai" in here, I doubted it, of course the last pic says other wise. 4 3 5

Then my present house must be prehistoric Here in nz historic generally means old and significant but 49 is definitely not considered old I drive over bridges and through tunnels twice that age 1

I did think 1949 was pushing it for historic... Edited April 3, 2021 by Painter
boydeste Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Thanks for the pics Mike, that house looks a bit drab compared to the hot chick in the stunning blue dress! Your good lady certainly knows how to dress to impress! 2 1

Pumpuynarak Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Great quality pics Mike as usual TFP, wifey looks stunning in the dress. 1
Yessongs Posted April 4, 2021 Author Posted April 4, 2021 Appreciate all the comments gentlemen, hell I don't know, then what "dates" are considered historic? 1800's? I am not so culturally sound I guess, I just take the pics LOL! Still can't believe she found that "Thai" artifact LOL! That's historic right? I wonder who convinced the powers to be to put that in an American Historical Landmark? 🇹🇭 2 1

Great pics. I think I shagged a bird that was born in 1949 once. She was more prehistoric than historic. 😀 1 2
