Starting off at the front door. This is Pop's area where he watches TV and works on his stuff. There are French Doors that close this room off from the rest of the house, which he likes to do sometimes to just sort of relax in his own spot.
Just some quick photos here to show a few rooms of our house. These have all been taken some time in the last two years -- which shows that I should really take some brand new ones! Starting off at the front door. This is Pop's area where he watches TV and works on his stuff. There are French Doors that close this room off from the rest of the house, which he likes to do sometimes to just sort of relax in his own spot. This is the other half of the same room -- taken in July when we had the curtains down for washing. It was also the day that we'd had the upright piano delivered after having swapped from the old Baby Grand. That explains some of the mess! That's the working Victrola in the far left of the photo. I don't seem to take photos of the Living Room any time but Christmas, so it's decorated here. Naturally, Baby Yoda has to fit into any decor . . . And you can see that Pop's chair was in this room at the time, though it's now been replaced with another chair shown farther down this entry. That's the computer room behind the two doors. It used to be the Dining Room, but it now has three computer desks and some crafting stuff in it! The wood stove, which (thankfully) is now a backup form of heat, as we have a heat pump. I'm very happy. And you can see the new chair that replaced the red one now in Pop's area. And upstairs this is our bedroom. These were taken in early 2020 (though only some of the pins on the boards have changed). You can tell this photo is not exactly recent, because my bed (the double in the corner) now has a lot of Baby Yoda plushes/throw/pillows, etc. on it! And just to show a bit of the technological age . . . here's the computer where I'm sitting and writing this entry! Hope this is a nice little peak into the house for all those who have asked. I'll try and get some newer photos . . . one of these days!

Colossians 2:8:
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. BEATRICE: MY HONEY-BEE

My "favorite" member of the Clapham Sect. Not very much is known about him, but what is preserved keeps a beautiful memory alive of an exemplary Christian man. William Wilberforce Quote:
May I look to Him for wisdom and strength and the power of persuasion, and may I surrender myself to Him as to the event with perfect submission, and ascribe to Him all the praise if I succeed, and if I fail say from the heart thy will be done. For you Jesus Christ came into the world. For you he lived and showed God’s love. For you he suffered the darkness of Calvary and cried at the last, ‘It is accomplished.’ For you he triumphed over death and rose to new life. For you he reigns at God’s right hand. All this he did for you, though you do not know it yet.
Where there is one, there is a majority of one; and when the rights of the majority take away from the rights of the one, then the many will themselves suffer.
~Henry David Thoreau~ I often think of Bag End. I miss my books, and my armchair, and my garden. You see, that's where I belong. That's home. That's why I came back, because you don't have one. A home. It was taken from you. But I will help you take it back if I can.

He was born with a gift of laughter & a sense that the world was mad. The future is to be read with certainty only in the past. Man never changes. PRIDE & PREJUDICE:
A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment. PRIDE & PREJUDICE:
Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion. WINSTON CHURCHILL ON
KING GEORGE VI "His conduct on the Throne may well be a model & a guide to constitutional sovereigns throughout the world today & also in future generations." "For 15 years George VI was King. Never at any moment in all the perplexities at home & abroad, in public or in private, did he fail in his duties." |
