The main part of the house, on the right, is still intact. I went inside. The next house to it, to my back as I took this photo, is where my cousin lives now and has lived most of her life. We visited for a good coupla hours. Although she is age 90, her mind is in good shape. I realized that my then 31 yr old cousin is the half a person walking into the house.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">So… I went home, took that image above and asked Grok to extrapolate from that half person, create an image of the whole person, and colorize the image.

A coupla days later, she called me when I was at a local hardware store. She loved the photo. Granny never had a color image made of her. So I said Hey cuz, did you notice yourself in the background there? She said Oh no no no honey, that’s not me.
