    I don’t like heights but maintenance don’t wait for a dude to grow sone intestinal fortitude. Bow up, boys. It’s not the fall, it’s the sudden stop. That’s what I tell myself at least.

    @tmanfive, concentrate on the task at hand so we don’t need to test your sudden stop theory. 😂

    Got out of the “big city” for the day. Soaking up some small town vibes.

    Thanks, Ms. @Cat0703a

    I was perfectly safe, shorts and barefoot What better way to get a grip on asphalt shingles than skin 🤣

    iPhone FTW, again. It was not so safe. It fell from the ridge, slid down, jumped the gutter, landed on the concrete, bounced a few times, then came to a rest.

    Still working. 🤙🏼

    I see why it's your fave nook. Love those old, multi-purpose pieces. Things were made so sturdily & they easily lasted for generations. Wish I had a house so I could do all sorts of painting projects... I love to refinish & reupholster furniture. Looks like there's a writing desk on the right, as well & they even have an old iron you put on the stove to heat. Have a restful time at your AB&B!

    For me... uh, I'm watching an alligator float down the canal from the comfort of my living room. He's a small one... 10' maybe. I've seen Schwartzen-gators... 20' long from giantly monstrous head to tail. I can't get a decent pic through the screen, so, you'll just have to take my word for it. Yep, I could step outside the door, but... I'm afraid he'll see me & alert the others that lunch is strolling nearby.

    Left now. But yes, the right was a secretary. Complete with a couple of pairs of old readers, a pencil and a church cookbook. With writing of what pages certain recipes where found in the front. It’s my guess that the people who own it, it used to be their mothers. And they didn’t want to get rid of it. So they fixed it up and rent it out. Just my guess. My middle guy heard a lot of noises the first night too.🤷🏻‍♀️

    Killing time to wait for an appointment so I’m sitting here for a few minutes. I used to work here in high school and right out of for a few years. Sad it’s been closed a while now. I grew up very middle class. Or maybe even lower middle. The older women I worked with liked to invite me to the theater with them. (We sold tickets through Ticketmaster) Taking the train to Chicago. The expensive purses and cosmetics and stuff there, I was not familiar with that sort of stuff. I liked working there.
    PS….our “mall”, I don’t even know how it stays open.

    My mum used to collect old cookbooks from 2nd hand stores & sometimes there would be handwritten recipes inside. They were so old, they wouldn't always contain amounts, just a list of ingredients, or say add xx to taste & would list oleo as an ingredient. Sometimes, a recipe didn't even list temp or time to bake... just bake until done or if a cake, bake until spongy to touch or an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

    One of my sisters lives in PA in a 200-yr old home & used to hear the sound of someone walking up the stairs... her bedroom had a set of stairs behind a door, leading to the cellar. The house was so old, the cellar had a dirt floor, low ceiling so you had to crouch down when inside & no lighting. She asked her husband to open the door to see what was behind it, then board it up, since they weren't going to use the cellar for anything. He just locked the door with a skeleton key & told her he had boarded it up.

    Once he opened that door, the activity increased so that everyday (after 3am), there were the sounds of footsteps & her 4 kids (all under 10 at that time) started to ask about the old man with the cane & the small boy with him. The kids weren't scared & told her the old man was walking the boy to school. That alleviated most of her fears & she just lived with it for about 5-yrs. One day, the noises just stopped & only on rare occasion does she hear footsteps. We used to wonder if the old man came around, since her kids were all the same age as the young boy he was walking to school.

    I used to not believe in such things. And I also scare extremely easily from scary movies and stuff like that. Hate them. But….when so many people see and hear similar things, what’s the other explanation? Very interesting.

    Yes, old recipes can be like that. I have one like that from my kids great grandma for Carmel cake. I can’t remember what it was that was like that. I’ll have to see if I can find it. And, yes, oleo is in a LOT of old recipes. Lol
