NOT AGAIN !!! ( WALL DECALS )


John says - Not again !
Suzan says - What ?
John says - More words????
John says - We don't have space for anything else on the walls - give up already !


John says - the house looks like a living dictionary - there's too may words ( he ALWAYS says that )
Suzan says - It's like an open book !
Suzan says - And it's our love story !
John says - Baloney !!!


Suzan says - I'm trying to keep my heart young !
John says - Well start eating more oatmeal for crying out loud - words sure aren't going to do it !
John says - I think you're becoming eccentric !
Suzan says - I'm certainly not !
Suzan says - I just love words !


He didn't notice the chalkboard sign I hung on the door


He did however notice that I added extra pillows to the bed but it's not blog appropriate to share that particular conversation !

BTW - I'm thinking I may be eccentric after checking out the true meaning LOL

noun
  1. 1.
    a person of unconventional and slightly strange views or behavior.
    "he enjoys a colorful reputation as an engaging eccentric"
    synonyms:oddity, odd fellow, character, individualist, individualfree spiritMore
  2. 2.
    a disc or wheel mounted eccentrically on a revolving shaft in order to transform rotation into backward-and-forward motion, e.g., a cam in an internal combustion engine.


Don't you know that it's worth
Every treasure on earth
To be young at heart?

So says Mr. Sinatra !!!
( and me ) 



Have a beautiful day !
I'm going to make some oatmeal now !
Eccentrically yours,

I WANNA live there Wednesday # 145

Good Morning Everyone !

I haven't done a IWLTW post in awhile now - and after looking at top posts from last year I realized they are some of my most viewed !

So here we go again :)

I found this one on ZILLOW - a spectacular old farmhouse in Saranac Lake, N.Y.
( close to Montreal actually - I've been to this picturesque town many times )

It was once a Carmelite Nunnery - a Sanitorium - a Nursing Home and a boarding house !
The last owners fell in love with it and turned it into a single home ( private residence )

$695.000
8500 square feet ( more a farmhouse mansion actually )
14 bedrooms ( 8 with sleeping porches )
8 baths
Built in 1896
Realtor - BOB MARTIN

This would make the most glorious Bed & Breakfast !!!  ( if you were so inclined - and if you were I would be your first customer ! )

Let's go !





I'm in love with the back !






That fireplace  -  those windows !


A butler's pantry






view to the sleeping porch




Radiators - oh how I love old radiators !





A view from the - drum roll please - WIDOW'S WALK !!!  The ad says there's fireworks on the 4th of July
Can you imagine sitting out there watching that?


What a truly glorious piece of history !!!


Nestled in a gorgeous location


Yep - I most definitely would want to live there !  I'd fill it to the brim with Shabby delights - although it's not too shabby exactly as it is !
Many more pictures on the site zillow



Have a wonderful day everyone - the first week of the new year is half over !
Hugs,
Me
