Sorry I'm just seeing this now @ddschteinn but as I said, very busy. I do love Toad Hall. It suits me rather well as an introvert. The quiet of a mainly Summer area on a point in the sea is just about heaven. The only thing that would make it my Dream Home would be if it would be picked up and dropped into the UK either Kent or Devon, really any Southern county in the UK would make me happy :) But, beggars, as they say, cannot be choosers.

I miss Puss though I never asked for her. She simply was part of the house when we inherited. It was the last of a long line of cats that belonged to the grandfather.

"Moving Stuff About" means I am in the process of trying to re-arrange the main house as we have decided to move to the boat house for the Summer to let the main house for Summer lets. It will help us with the costs of such a place as this, which needs SO much work and is a bit high on the tax (both due to being on the Sea and our living in the state of TAXachusetts)

It's sort of exciting as we used to live in the Boat House in the Summers back in the day. When The grandfather lived in the main house we were there for a few Summers, it's small but funky and well, also on the sea, so no complaints there. BUT I have a lot of work to do, so that means ART as well as Garden and Decorating and Rehab (doing over the main bathroom) what we put up with will not do for paying guests, I can assure you of that :)

Well, that's a long catch up and I'm sure I'm missing good chats on your post. I'll try and get there tomorrow morning. I'm offline now for the day, ta!
