He felt it was one of his missions in life to help me develop my sense of humor. (I do have one, it was just a bit different than his.) And Paul located many of the houses his ancestors owned in the 1700s on Castle Hill in Buda and we visited and photographed them. What fun!Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.com
