Introverted and annoyed progressive city transplant to Western Mass who generally takes care of people, plants, and things! Nurse, teacher, and newly avid domino player.
House pics of the week. This glorious tile.

Sending this one out of the nest for a few weeks! Taking his first solo overseas trip to Costa Rica!

Last night we went to Tanglewood to hear Yo-Yo Ma. We brought my aunt and the teens. The music was so beautiful.

It took a bit longer than we had hoped due to the nature of home improvements! However, we now have a safe and working oven.

Well, here is where we landed. We have found (not created) a hole. We need an electrician because this baby was wired to the house!

Thanks for the memories and for not burning our house down, Thermador wall oven from 1960!

House pic of the day- we are removing the wall oven and warming drawer due to safety watches and warnings!

All the retired ladies in my neighborhood are coming over for lunch and dominoes today before I go back to work. This is a monthly gathering. I hope they like my chicken salad.

Another old friend- all clean and ready to rest up for future generations.

House pic of the day- our utility sink has been tuned up and is in good working order.

And also my babies’s play-silks among other very favored toys. Not pictured: very sweaty me cleaning out bins in the garage.

House picture of the day- our big beautiful windows.

Just back yesterday from a weekend in my hometown- so many highlights, but especially this bagel.

Guess what this is?

No catalog of this mid-century modern split level would be complete with this original Thermador wall oven and warming drawer. This beauty still heats up but the door heats up and falls off. We will need to replace this. Perhaps the Smithsonian would like it.

It was big sensory overwhelm. I took shelter in the patio section in a comfy chair under some cozy lights and played an audiobook in my earbuds.

House pic of the day. This old wicker love seat was my MILs and she re did her patio and gave it to us about 15 years ago. Today I went to Lowe’s to give it some fresh cushions.

House pic of the day: our beautiful porch. This stone floor echoes itself in the front hallway and the exterior front patio- the one with the doorbell that does not chime. More doorbell updates soon!

Just wanted to show you all my problematic sink.
