The Lodge.

Confessions of a Pioneer Woman — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 05:50:59 +0000

I have this crazy dream of holding occasional weekend retreats on the ranch where guests would experience a slice of ranch life, cook together in groups, go on photography expeditions, and relax.

See, folks, I have no friends, no life, and no interaction with the outside world at all, and the only way I can think to remedy the situation is to hold these retreats. Teehee! I kid. I think.

See, we have this guest house on our ranch. We call it The Lodge. (more…)

I live in a Tudor-style house that was built in 1930. So along with its arched pass-throughs and walnut picture moulding and glass doorknobs come plenty of little old-house headaches.

If these walls could talk

Paper Napkin — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 05:04:41 +0000

We have a problem in our house. Blank walls. We’ve lived here 2 years, and don’t have much stuff on the walls to show for it. Blank walls can be intimidating, staring at you like the answer spaces on an Calculus final.

Moving forward

Dooce — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 05:10:12 +0000

Before we completely moved out, I spent nearly seven hours at the old house dusting windowsills and mopping very dirty floors. I’m thinking that anyone who is interested in buying a house should maybe check and see if the owners suffer a bit of OCD, because the woman who is buying our house is so getting the benefits of my disease, and not just because we patched up the holes in the wall where I threw a carton of milk at Jon’s head and he ducked at just the right second.
