Lost in this old house . . .

The man from the home heating oil company came to check out the furnace for the winter months. After he had replaced a valve  he asked if he could check out the radiators on the main floor. I let him in by the upstairs cellar door and he did his checking. When he completed his task he started to turn in a circle! He was lost looking for the cellar door. That's a new one for me although I recall youngest telling me that when she and G. visited in September he couldn't believe there were so many odd places to wander in! Met some old friends from Central Village at the Roadside Diner Sunday morning and they are selling their home and leaving for Crossville, Tennessee. They were so impressed with the beauty of the mountains but especially the fact that the taxes are non existent in comparison to Connecticut. How right they are. The community they are moving to is made up of northerners, mostly from Ohio. She had her own business here and her husband is retiring from the DOT. They'll be in heaven.

Kiddo likes his new twin bed with the comfortable mattress. We had to go up and see where the futon was. We put it in the pink room and set it up as a couch. He suggested we move the small TV into that room! Then he moved on into A's old room where we have a queen size double air mattress bed. He sat on the bed which he has always liked and said, "Mémé, you have to be more explicit." Says I, "About what?"  " You didn't explain which bed you were bringing downstairs." What a nice pain in the butt!  Found out last night that I really do like the glider we've put in his room downstairs. I've been getting the urge to watch Masterpiece Theatre once again. It's been years. They will be starting the third season of Downtown Abbey in January and I was trying to figure out how I could get caught up on two seasons. Went to Amazon and lo and behold they offer free streaming to their prime customers. Yes, yes, yes! I watched the first episode on the HD computer screen in Kiddo's room and didn't even bother Grampa who was already asleep. Modern marvels are curiouser and curiouser! Fantastique.
