mom was talking to me about this book yesterday...
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0670033154/qid=1112714622/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-5004630-7443955 it sounds really interesting.. if you read the review on amazon, you can see the description..
it's about a house built in 1647 by Walter Hatch.. and was lived in by hatch-es (New Englands Oldest Continuously Lived-in House) up until 1965..
I only mention this, of course, because mom's family comes from these Hatch-es.
...not that i've read the book, or anything..
still no news on the visa front, but my patience grows thin..
as does the current housing situation, which may fall to shambles soon..
just more waiting to find out what happens..
