Good for you to engineer this meetup and share in this person’s life at the
scene of their experience…what a moving experience for you[ and them I suspect].
Thanks for caring enough to make the effort to preserve these memories. You have a well thought and lain out chronology with really quite good photo documentation.
My great pleasure to view and experience.

cheers

You know I love these old houses just as much as you do. I find them so fascinating that it almost like a mania, in that no matter how many I used to explore when lived in Maine I t was never enough. I also loved exploring the old dumbs that were often right next to farmhouses. I found so many antique cobalt blue bottles and other very old bottles. Love collecting them. Still have many on my widow sills.

Used to make mosaics out of the beautiful old pieces of broken china I would find. It was SO lovely with delicate flowered patterns and birds. For me it was like finding gold. Sometimes I would find old cast iron ladles (probably used to dip water) or cast iron pots. Other times I would find very old cutlery, snuff boxes, buckles and so forth. For me it just soooooo much fun.

Thank you for taking the time to photograph all this step by step, just a beautiful article and photos. I especially loved the kitchen with pump and tiled wall section and lightning story. Oh and the old puzzle on the wall.

Hugs to you dear Micelle,
Robin

PS: I’ve missed being here. I had some complex web host and computer problems for almost two weeks and could hardly get on line except on a friend’s computer or my old lap top which took 3 minutes to load a page. LOL!! I have missed SO much here and missed you. Especially your give away contest!! What a gem you are to have done that. So generous and thoughtful. Maybe you will do it again one day.

Cheers

You have a good way with light shafts and colour, the latter especially in “upstairs”.

That is quite a first memory of his mother!
