The sweet potato pie

Thanks to you both.... .....for your nice comments and wishes. The house just keeps growing on me and friends and I are constantly looking for more "period" pieces to furnish it with. I've been having lots and lots of company lately and entertaining them all in the house has just been a breeze...

Well...... the christening (for loss of a better word right at this moment) was last weekend and it was awesome and totally fabulous. Kelly-look forward to seeing you sometime this coming week.

OMG Kelly.... ....what did you do? Bring home the entire church congregation for Sunday dinner?? ((--:: From what you write makes me think I was at the wrong house for Easter dinner. (Yes, I will always remember that beautiful dinner you put out back in '06)And washing all the pots and pans...

and all those nice holiday calls received on the old rotary

...and don't forget the mashed potatoes!

Happy Easter to all Kelly-Want you to know I will take what you say under advisement. ((--:: Did have a wonderful dinner today and the Flair was kept busy for a spell. Austin-thanks for your nice comments and yes, I do feel pretty lucky to have this home.

The master bedroom.... ....Spotted this dresser and two night tables almost buried in the sand along side the road on my way home thru the upper desert outside of Lucerne Valley. The Silverado came to an "almost" immediate halt and they all jumped on. It took a little doing in cleaning them up...

Another shot of the master bath and the original (I do believe) plastic pull curtain to cover the frosted window. The M/B also has a slider in it which is kind of nice. It opens out to another patio in the front of the house. I'm not taken with the aqua color as there is too much blue in it. I...

The master bath which I do believe I am going to have to do again as the aqua did not come out quite as I expected it to. But you will get the drift as to what I'm trying to accomplish.

and everyone forgets....... ..... about little Dickey who has had a bolt down for some time. It is a suds saver. Got it running decent but couldn't master the idler rollers for the pumps and the sudsaver. And so it sits and waits patiently right next to it's younger sibling-a frog-eyed...

..........and another

Thanks guys..... ....for all your nice comments. They pump me up and make me feel like I am headed in the right direction. I've set up my pantries that would allow me to be "holed" up in the house for quite a spell. AND with the terrific spikes in gas prices with no let up in sight, that might...

...and another .............

Well Patrick, I might.... .....be having some sad news to share with all of you in the near future but in the meantime I will post a few pics of how I am setting up some of the other rooms. Here is one of the kitchen

Anyone want to play? Hi Eddie-Thanks for your extremely nice comments. The house continues to grow on me and amaze me everyday. I must post more pictures soon. Patrick-I was too late to check out the listing. It had expired. Good idea- it would be nice to have another one waiting patiently in...

Holidays over... ...I just hate to see the holidays end and the sad chore of taking down the tree draw nearer and nearer. I do believe I found a beautiful tree this year and the wpnderful part is that now I will roll it outside and plant it in the ground. ((--::

The holidays Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Haven't posted in while as I have been so busy I only have time every now and then to check in to see what is going on. I really miss my old "every other day or so" schedule but hopefully one of these days it will come back. ((--:: Thanks...

Hi Stan- Thanks for asking about the refrigerator. It is running fine now and cycling on and off. I couldn't find any info on the machine or anyone who knew anything about this particular model so I got my hands on a "generic" "one fits all" thermostat and bypassed the old one. Everything is...

Hi Matti-You are right on all counts. The temp selections light up, the tub, and there are two bulbs behind the black cycle modifier dial and the light seems to follow and illuminate the pointer as it clicks off the minutes and moves toward the end of the cycle. Yes, the wall hangings are...
