Laughed over your thoughts on homework... since we homeschooled it was a non-issue in our home (I suppose it was technically ALL home work), and I am certainly thankful about that.

I don't think the ancestor built the castle, he took it, if I am remembering correctly.

I would love to join you for coffee and conversation. It was great fun to read your answers and also, some of the comments - I liked the comment about using the chalkboard for the house # and can you believe the lady who lived in a castle? Fascinating. When I was 20, my dad had a business trip in Germany (at Christmas) and mother and I went along. It was gorgeous. The one thing to see on my wish list was Neuschwanstein Castle. Our hosts drove and drove thru blinding snow and we were within sight of the castle and the weather got so severe that we could not tour it.

But after a UPS guy begged me earlier this year to have SOMEONE put up numbers, I got out the chalkboard, chalk pen, wrote it out, and hung it up. Easy. And every delivery person has been happy. Obviously we have no rules governing house numbers.
