your golden wings

this is one of those days when a picture is going to say 1,000 words because i'm running late and i want to get through a chapter or two of my book before i pass out at 1130. these pictures are gram's house leftovers. i always like to see inside other people's houses though, don't you?
this is the downstairs bathroom. my mom liked the border so much that she changed our kitchen wallpaper so now it's the border in our kitchen.
see? ours is up high.
back to gram's. this is the porch and it's my favorite place in the house. it was an addition that's more or less just stuck to the side of the house on the second floor. it feels like you're in a tree house. there's no better napping spot on earth. and they bring you snacks if you just sit there long enough.

mom sent the light-up garland for gram's birthday.
spanky made those hanging halloween things. i still have an extra if someone needs some handmade halloween cheer for next year.
could it be any more grandparent's house in this picture?
'be my guest'.
aunt tiny, gram's sister, found a box of old stuff. this is gram's autograph book from school in the '40s. they all signed with funny little rhymes that i wish i could remember. stuff like 'roses are red, violets are blue, no one at school is as sweet as you.'

time to read! woooo friday!

  1. FYI, the porch started out as a deck (in the trees) off the family room. It was too buggy to sit out there at night. So Spanky enclosed it and made it into a porch. Then he enclosed beneath it and made it his little workshop where he cuts out wood like those Halloween things.

    You can always get a cup of tea out there ... sometimes some leftover pie ...

  2. Ooh I love looking inside other people's houses. Your grandparent's house is perfectly grandparent-y.
