Before I knew Heidi very well, I received one of her atc's in a "favorite song" atc swap with Red Lead in about 2005 or so. She did a great atc based on the "Pink Houses" song by John Mellencamp. I loved her atc and I still have it. As we became friends, I began to realize how much we both love, remember, appreciate and laugh at so many of the same things about growing up in the 60's and 70's.
We both love going to estate sales with our husbands. We both know to run, not walk to the ones that advertise those magical words, "mid century modern". How much fun it would be to be neighbors in those little pink houses. I added the third house for our friend Becky. The block wouldn't be complete without her. If any of you would like to join us, we could create a whole wonderful neighborhood! Wouldn't it be fun?
"Oh, but ain't that America for you and me
Ain't that America somethin' to see, baby
Ain't that America home of the free...
Little pink houses for you and me"

I love this and the song. Now Kenny Chesney has a reference to little pink houses in "American Kids.
"Uptown down home American kids
Growin up in little pink houses
Makin out on living room couches"
