Apparently I made this one too easy. Now that I know that my readers are intellectually superior to most, I won’t make that mistake again.

The funny thing is that my husband Dave was stumped by it, even though he has been there and took photos of it himself. So those of you who guessed without the benefit of having visited it in person–give yourself a pat on the back! -Julia

I guessed it, too, but only because of “Missouri”. He’s the only writer I know from that state. That says more about me than the talent that’s in Missouri, I’m sure.

I guessed correctly as well, but then seriously doubted myself and was convinced it couldn’t be him. LOL.

The story about your grandmother almost made me spit my coffee on the screen. That was a riot.

I’m so impressed with myself! I guessed it in one before ever seeing your clues. Unfortunately, it is not that I am wise or even literarily intuitive. HGTV did a show that talked about this house as well as some other houses that were either literary or in Hartford, I can’t remember the thesis statement of the show. It was fascinating and I was glad to be reminded of it here!
