Dayton use to have a Dayton State Hospital (circa 1855), and my mom worked at it for a short while as a nurse. About 25-30 years ago it was completely restored after years of sitting empty and turned into Retirement, assisted living and a nursing home section. The building was so old and unique I am glad they didn't tear it down!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32540525.post-74107018954705802982012-02-29T03:56:49.763-05:002012-02-29T03:56:49.763-05:00I am fascinated with the Ancient Mysteries piece b...I am fascinated with the Ancient Mysteries piece because I can't really make out what is around the edge.

In some ways, it is very different from your regular work. Of course, the buttons aren't but the way the table actually is painted. I love the cards in the drawer. You honor individual people and also everyone. The indidvual names may be blocked out but they know who they are. And you've kept their anyonimity but shouted it to the world. Wow...the things you can do!Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987178371117192422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32540525.post-10262318114670491762012-02-28T19:50:53.130-05:002012-02-28T19:50:53.130-05:00I love what you ahve done with all of those button...I love what you ahve done with all of those buttons!!
