1. I have to walk down 12 steps to get to my washer and dryer which means I carry it down there and then back up...usually 3 loads in a day....I view it as a workout, not an inconvenience!!
2. I have water that magically appears in a corner of that basement everytime it rains...it's not much, but it's there and it makes it smell musty even with a dehumidifier running 24 hours a day.
3. I'm pretty sure my furnace is older than I am (okay, that one makes me nervous b/c I see dollar signs everytime I look at it!!), but they just don't make things like they used to, so maybe it will outlast me :-)
But, check this out...
1. I have window boxes that (thanks to my mom's help) have gorgeous flowers in them.
2. I have a nice size yard with trees taller than my house, MUCH taller than my house!!!
3. When I describe my house to people coming over they can pick it out b/c it doesn't look exactly like the one next door (had that problem a lot in the old house!!!)
4. I have arched doorways and REAL wood trim!
There are definitely perks to my 79 year old house!!

You should've pointed out that the picture of the playset is taken from about half way to it from the house.
Lovely home, you guys. I was glad to have seen it "for real" yesterday. Thanks for having us over, Gretchen.
ooh like the character- can't wait to be invited to see it in person =)
