Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

I’ve been Googling those antique style fans - they’re a thing. I just need to find a supplier that ships to Canada. Apparently y’all don’t get that we occasionally need fans up here too.

As to the rest of your comments - I get it.
I also think that it’s wonderful the castle is being lovingly restored room by room. The alternative, letting it crumble to the ground, overtaken by nature and vandals does nothing to further the love story of George and Louise Boldt.

Their children and grandchildren have been very supportive of the restoration endeavour, providing documents, old photos, and items of furniture.

They are very clear in their presentation that the Boldts never lived there, that the moment news of Louise’s death was received, the workers put down their tools never to return to the island again. Unlike our own Casa Loma, there were never any echoes of laughter through those halls.

Prior to construction of the castle though, there was a very opulent “summer house” on the island, that was enjoyed by the Boldt family for several seasons.
Oh, I think it is fine that they are doing that, but, and there is no way that the shear emotion can be duplicated by the finished product. Yes, it is better to be completed, but, the way I saw it had a very lasting impression and seeing it any other way would be crushing to me. However, I know that it just would be a pile of stone if left to nature, especially on the St. Lawrence. It's good and bad all at the same time. Life do get confusing don't it?

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.

I think that's a balanced perspective. When I read your earlier response in detail, about how it was unfinished and unattractive (many years ago), I was almost relieved. Why? Because as much as I love touring old, stately homes and estates with magnificent floors,, rooms, staircases, interior designs, etc., I always walk out of them feeling like I must live in a dump, compared to them! :facepalm: :p

I know it is difficult to explain, but, to me, as a finished product, it represents opulence and wealth. That becomes the story. As it was when I saw it 60 years ago it was a love story with a tragic ending and physical evidence of a love that could no longer be. Although money and wealth was certainly part of that story, it was all cancelled out by the "titanic" outcome.
