On March 28 Chanda and I visited Mary Alice and Henry for a few rousing games of Sequence. We stopped by the Astorbilt house to see how things were going. The Christmas decorations were put away and summer hadn't arrived yet. All of these pictures can be clicked on and enlarged. When you are finished use the back arrow in the upper left to return to the blog.
In the room under the rafters they were still prepared for some indoor activities, music and some reading, maybe a little dressmaking. Seth plays the bass and Gracie plays the banjo, but who plays the harp? Also in the room next door to this they have a pool table which can be seen in the previous picture if you click on it.
And in the bedroom Papa was still wearing his long johns and they needed a fire in the stove at night.
The parlor was comfy and the drapes were pulled at night to keep out the chill; they have a fire in the fireplace. I suppose Mary Alice plays the organ and sings while Henry reads the Bible and drinks wine...or is the other way around?

And the bathroom...Well it doesn't really change with the seasons. Just don't forget to flush when you are finished.

This is the neighborhood store. Not a lot of activity there.

It is time now to put away the sleds and get out the scooters. In the summer I hope to get some scenes of the outside and the porch. The Astorbilts enjoy the outdoors and spend a lot of time on the porch and gardening.
