Uncovering Treasures

A new adventure, like the dawn of the new day, can come upon one suddenly, overwhelmingly...

... And with ever so much breathtaking wonder.

We've discovered, in our quaint East Texas town, a house, built with loving hands, and neglected sorely over the passing years. Its story is an unforgettable one, of lives touched with courage, of the people who dwelt within its walls and made it a home.

But others came in, made their own lives when others were gone. New walls were erected, new paint over old wallpaper, the grand old staircase pulled out and a new, straight-laced one put in.

We have been uncovering so much beauty,

So much that whispers of the family who once lived here,

The wallpaper, on walls and ceiling, from the early 1900's, with fabric backing curiously printed like old flour sacks,

The ballroom, hidden beneath new walls, the high ceilings lowered for the sake of new wiring and plumbing.

But we will reawaken history. We will pull off the sarcophagus, and find the gold beneath.
