A unique house and more

 

A good sale price urged me to purchase a new iPad. My mini iPad had stopped updating, and wasn't in the mood to charge anyway. Now just to figure out if I can blog on the little thing! So far it's an uphill task! Any tips from other bloggers using an iPad would be welcome in comments!

I did go to Asheville to buy my new iPad, so swung up into Kenilworth, and found the Lustron home that Tom the Backroads Traveler had mentioned. I'd checked and it was still there on Google World Maps in 2022. 70 Hampden Rd, Asheville. And it's there and nicely tended on April 14, 2024!

Here's the link to Tom's post about the ones in New York. And I commented that I'd seen them when I was a child (perhaps when they first came out in the 40s) in Houston TX. I remember walking on plastic runways over the carpet through the models. And my little sister was having fits cause she didn't have a nap. Funny the things that strike your memory! I adored the new shiny modern furnishings. Of course there wasn't much chance we'd get one of these houses, but a 7 year old can hope!

I finally had another lunch outing with some close friends...Sake Sushi, Japanese restaurant in Black Mountain. Here's Helen's vegetable teriaki with brown rice. Somehow my scallops teriaki bento box didn't get photographed. We all had the miso soup to start our meals.

Teresa's shrimp tempura bento box looked delicious. All of us split our meals and took half home for another meal.
