I startled everyone at Mom's house Christmas Eve with a "Whoop!" when I was checking out my brother's new Dell. I intended to show my brother Richard a map of Killaloo and it's environs I had been building in Google Maps, using Kenneth Allen's photo's from Geograph that I have previously mentioned and featured here in a blog back in June of last year. The map is in anticipation of our trip next year to celebrate my 50th birthday.
Then I noticed this E-mail:

subject: Glebe House
mailed-by: mac.com
I was fascinated to find your website Glebe Homie. This is because I bought the house previously known as the Glebe House which your site is dedicated to in 1999 and live here in Killaloo with my family.
The Church of Ireland had amalgamated several smaller congregations at the retirement of one of their rectors, and no longer needed the property.
Your home page shows a picture of the house roof in the foreground, taken from the roadside above. I have pasted on a picture of what it looks like from a bit closer up. Happy to send you some more if they are of interest.
It'll take me some time to read all of your blogs etc, but am working on it over the Christmas holiday period.
Best wishes
Alan McKinney
You can only imagine the look of glee on my face (and the dumbfounded looks on my family's faces) as I danced around my mother's living room after opening this E-mail!
The E-mail came with this photo attached:

Glebe House, Killaloo. © Photo by Alan McKinneyIf you look at my blog header you will see a gray smudge on the left-hand side under the "G" and "L" in Glebe just beyond the tree-line. Little did I know that right there, in front of my eye's, hidden in plain sight was: the Glebe House!
Thank-You Alan!
"Merry Christmas! Pleased to meet you!"
