Is the tile coming up?

I think they like to preserve the historical integrity of the original floors, fixtures, etc. in the house. So if there was any wear and tear on the tile, they'd probably just leave it that way.

I always wanted one of those daybeds that are in your room. I'd be the lady of leisure . . .

An amazing creche:

We went over to the stables after touring the house. We couldn't go inside, and the fountains were covered for the winter, but it was still prettyneat:

Then a quick visit to the gardens - (much more impressive in the summer)

O.k. . . . that's worth a fortune right there . . .

 

[Nemo14]

We drove home by way of Ocean Drive, and stopped to watch the sunset.

So basically it was a great day and I've calmed down quite a bit now. I guess I'm pretty lucky to have him.

Our yard is nicer. It's all concrete, and hubs has two boxing, punch bags out there. Oh, and we have 2 trash cans, too. (Not to brag, but talk about ambiance! )

Is the tile coming up?

It's actually gray tiles. I'm not sure why they didn't try to match what was there, other than to show that there had been damage?

The house itself was almost torn down in 1962 (many Newport houses of this era were), and was rescued literally at the last moment.

Tonight for dinner. Cheese tortellini in a pesto sauce and Canada Dry ginger ale

So if they were only used during the summer, this Christmas thing must be kind of new. Or did they rent the place out to peons during the winter months?

The staff lived there year round. They worked very hard keeping everything clean and polished.
Of course the coal miners who the owner of The Elms employed to earn his millions, worked harder...

I figure I'd probably fall off the darn thing.

So none of this procrastinating, saying "Oh, they won't be back for 8 month, the dusting can wait."

I'm in complete shock and disbelief. Growing up I LOVED Growing Pains. He was the first "grown up" I had a crush on.

Growing Pains was a great show. I had a crush on Kirk Cameron though.
