Our new home!

I don't think I'd do this except Annie asked me to post pictures. And I'm kind of loving doing so! 

This is in South Salem, NY. About half hour south of Danbury, so under 2 hours from Somers! And with the way we all drive...

That big Elm in the first picture is gone. It fell on the house during Hurricane Sandy. But after going up to visit yesterday for the inspection, Charlie discovered that the stump is his favorite part of the house. Plus the yellow bedroom he picked out if it could just be his own please please!

Dad, you should know that the ceiling in that yellow bedroom is covered with glow in the dark stars. Payback? Did you know there's a trick to getting them off without ripping the ceiling? A hair dryer! Information too little too late?

OK, one more thing. This place is on a lake with a beach!

No one more thing. That small building is a guest house. But to be prudent, we are going to keep our tenant for a while. But eventually we hope to kick her out so you all can come and stretch out and have no excuse to leave.

You mean you have a tenant? I had planned that when your mother and I fight we'd take times going there to cool off.

Wow! That place is awesome!!

Martha said...

Just noticed all the exposed ceiling beams. And I love the three season room. Is it glass and screen depending on weather? Or just screen?

Martha said...

Or just glass I meant.

Martha said...

And two fireplaces! Both working?

I'm wondering if Mary will be growing kale next summer.

Mars said...

I'm counting on it, Dad!
My top choices for the first rendition of the vegetable garden: kale, lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, herbs.

The Captain said...

Well then, I'll start some extra plants under lights in March (how about you, Ann?).
