Life is weird

raven-blackbird — Sat, 01 Mar 2014 00:21:35 GMT

never thought this would happen...........I've designed A LOT of kitchens all over my city...but today I had to go out and do a measure.......I KNEW the area looked familiar and when I pulled up to the house, I thought oh man you've got to be kidding.......I'm doing the kitchen for a young family, first home.........the weird part........I knew exactly the lay out of the home and the kitchen...........it was my aunts very first home when she got married a wedding present to them from my grand parents.......haven't been back in that house since they sold it........when I was 13 years old LOL...........nothing much had changed on it structurally...............weird........................................raven

it really is.........that house is way out and to get to it you have to take one road.......but I haven't even thought of that area for ages........but when I did the one turn, it's a really weird street set up, it hit me where I was at and sure enough......pulled up to the address and thought you've got to be kidding...........freaked the couple out when I told them, Oh it's okay I know where the kitchen is LOL............................................raven

My friend got pulled over by a CHP down in South Orange County a few years ago.. ( about 60 miles form where we live)after he took her license and came back to the car, he began describing her house in great detail- He had grown up in it many years before! She was blown away! (he didn't give her the ticket!LOL!)Kinda like yours, huh, BBR?

it's true...

Another poster asked for your input the other day...so I had a thought..

I wonder if you would consider a website where you could give decorating tips for a charge...??

Nice story, raven. I'd like to see before and after pics, but I know that may not be possible.

And now for some reason the Moody Blues singing ""Isn't Life Strange"" is starting up in my head.

it's odd you should mention that........I've been thinking of doing that very thing.......having a site that let people know the newest trends......problem solving question area......design solutions......my son could build the site and let me know how to maintain it......but I've actually been thinking about doing that very thing..................................raven

adding this.........I wouldn't charge people, if you have the ability to help someone, you should just really do it.......help................................................raven

My husband's first assignment led us to the same place my dad's was. Our apartment was across the street from the place where they lived.
