Happy Days at the Estate

I love having my old furniture around me. I love setting the old chair, just so, in the parlour. I will walk through a room, and do some little service, to make the room look special. Then I look through the bookshelves and find a pleasant book to enjoy during my break.

I spent much of the last few days doing some heavy housework.  A clean and tidy home is the goal and a never-ending task. But the work brings the most joy, and makes my time of resting that much more gratifying.

Did you ever watch an episode of House Hunters on Home and Garden Television? I love to hear how the families say they Must Have granite counters, or more than one bathroom. I am also amazed when they see a perfectly nice house and announce it needs a major remodeling job in order for them to live there. It has to be their taste - it must be re-done. . .  Have you ever seen someone living in an old, charming house and never did those upgrades? I've had people visit us in our old house and say, "Wow! You have so much work to do here!"  They think the house must be modernized with the latest flooring, newest counters and other such expensive jobs. I just smile. . .

I prefer the charm of my old, antique estate. I love to be here, in the old museum (as I call it), just cleaning and puttering and making a humble home.

These are happy days at the estate.
