The gr8ful grind

Let go of anger; It's an acid that eats away the delicate layers of your happiness

The reverse side has also its reverse side

In the late 1800s one could order an entire house from the Sears Roebuck catalog. They'd ship it in pieces to wherever you were and you assembled it when you got it. This is one of those houses. (Click on the photo for more detail) Jacksonville, Oregon; October, 2006.

Unfortunately this is not a Sears house. For one reason, Sears did not offer homes until 1908. Two, it doesn't even come close to anything they did offer. I think this is a George F. Barber design. I'll see if I can find it.

It is Design No. 143 from George Franklin Barber's 1892 catalog.
