Who'da thunkit? Must be worth a copper penny. ;-)

Bill, you are marvy! :-)

I know, Kate. Talk about asking a lot....don't get attached...my butt. I haven't seen my girls for a long time, and I still think of them, and keep up with their progress. Good Luck with your book. Happy Thanksgiving to the asshats of the K.S. or whatever we decided to call ourselves!

My friend Goddog has a "directions" section on his website's home page. Study his site for great info at

Byberry's pretty much destryoed so I hope Lord Motts forgives this faux-pas of his dogma.

Puddleboy, if you want a tour that's easy on the body and comprehensively complete, I'll take you through bro. It's much cooler in person and you can take your OWN amazing pictures. You're what, an hour away, tops?

Lynne. I was not there today but I had herd about the fire early this morning. It was a house that sat on the edge of the property. Don't worry your derbies are safe. I will get some pictures tomorrow and post them on my web site.

Twug- There's no way you CAN'T get attached. I love these kids like they're my own. My first kid that got discharged, I took over as her visiting resource and she's coming home with me for XMas! You have to love them to be able to do anything for them.

I'll keep everyone posted on the progress of the book. So far so good!

Occupational Therapy is for people with motor issues like not being able to hold a pen correctly or not having any coordination. It's not career counseling! =)

There was a time when casket companies would sell in bulk to institutions, especially when they had a morgue and someone who would embalm the dead.
Some of these hospitials also served as poor houses and many (like one I grew up near) had fully functioning gardens, greenhouses, power plants and dairies/slaughter houses. They were fully functioning cities within a comunity.
Some institutes did provide housing forcare staff and doctors who lived on site.
It was also not uncommon to find that there were also cemetaries or crematoriums not far so that they could bury the patients and poor in a respectful manner.

Very hard to pick a single favorite, but since I've been through the Byberry photos three times, then I shall place my vote there.

I keep waiting for a cloaked monster to come around the corner and peer at you. Beckoning you closer.....

Gravesend is definately up there in my favorites!
I know you have your vacation photos to finish up. I can't wait to see the Michigan ones. The Ypsi scared me when I was a kid and it was still open, and the MCD has always fascinated me.
I'm just sorry that DHCO in Northville was demolished before you could see it.
Anyway. I'll wait patiently.
