Seven bedrooms and technology nearly a century old.<br /><br />Chuck, who, indeed, tends more to practicality? Just asking.vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-2497431670725856842015-04-22T09:34:57.352-04:002015-04-22T09:34:57.352-04:00Maybe it's a guy thing.
