Herman Uihlein House-Lake Drive -Manor Neighbors Shared Experience

September 6, 2011

So the mother of kyutip:  a kyutip  pushing the primary stage of being in her dotage met
 our new neighbor Lydia from San Francisco.  Well imagine the shared surprise that Uihlein
mansion was a shared experience.  A family from the school PTA became acquainted
with our /church mouse family....Well as it turned out this family lived in the old
Uihlein mansion on Lake Drive.  So there were many visits for my sibling over
a host of years.

So as a result our family became familiar with the house.  So what a surprise that
our new neighbor Lydia from San Francisco was familiar with the mansion
when a music recording studio was added on the top floor, and a truly
grand out of town family moved in. .  So Lydia had visited and
helped out the family over the time. So Lydia was familiar with the mansion as
well.

And here we have been living in the same manor hallway since April
kind of a coincidence ....all the way here in a sleepy village
of 9,000 folks.

It was strange that when Lydia came that the cordless phone used for the direct landline
started to buzz and sputter.  This landline and cordless phone set problem has not
disappeared even though this is september 6.

It has been wonderful for Lydia to be able to watch when the painters came in
and out of our door.  Even checking out the doors to the hvac.

Ever so coincidental.  And what a grand family our neighbor knows.
