“We have about 5 acres of land.”

Nice! I bet it is pretty. They say we have 5 acres here, but it’s all up a hill, pretty worthless!

“which had us 12 days with no power.”

That’s a long time! I’m feeling vulnerable in this house, we don’t have a single fireplace or woodstove. I’d happily give up part of the living room for one. The heater stayed on through the freezing temps last week, but ya never know.

“Kitchen was WHITE(!) In a kitchen?
The floors, walls and ceiling were all the same white.”

That’s what this house was when we bought it! It was ridiculous, I felt like I lived in an institution, lol. The countwrs and floors are changed, but I guess we’re stuck with white cabinets. Lowe’s quoted over $20k for new cabinets and over $10k for new doors.

“I have an upright piano in the living room and floor to ceiling book cases with dental moldings, but STILL have books everywhere! On the coffee table, UNDER the coffee table. LOL
You sure you want to visit?”

It’s sounding better all the time! Books make a home, IMO. Even though I read mainly on my kindle or tablet these days, I’m buying books from better world books all the time. There’s something about holding a book that is more comforting than an electronic device. I need a backlog of books anyway, so I don’t run out. Just like movies, I prefer the older ones.

You’d love the little used bookstore in our downtown. The guy that owns it has books everywhere, piles of them. He has so many, the bookshelves can’t hold them all. It is hard to browse, and there is only a semblance or being organized, but the owner knows what he has or will look out for a particular book for you. I kinda like browsing there, I never know what I’ll find.

Hannity committed the TRUMP Cardinal Sin when he threw POTUS under the bus with his January 6 comments. He’s finished.
