This nice new house is almost complete and ready for prospective buyers. Today I took a few pictures so you could see some of the house.
This is the view of the foyer, a nice decorative tile in the center. The front door is off to your right where the tile continues. I am standing in the living room taking this picture. The open door is the powder room. You can also see the built-in shelves Wally made. Hopefully some customer will just love it!
Also in the foyer, when you enter, you look at this nice arch opening. The staircase to the lower level is behind the half-wall. This would be a lovely place in which to display some art. There is a light that will shine onto the wall where the art would hang. The living room is the room you see with the wood flooring.
Here is a view into the kitchen from the living room area. The wood floor includes the living room, the kitchen and the dining area in the kitchen.
Another view of the kitchen - the glass door you see is the pantry door. There is lots of storage in that corner. The door actually says "pantry" on it, etched into the glass.
For my 60th birthday (which is today) Wally gave me a package of riding lessons (he knew I was interested in doing that.) So yesterday I had my first lesson. Here I am meeting Pistol, the calm horse that will be the one on which I will learn.
One of the first things I learned is how to properly groom a horse. You must get all the dust and debris off the horse before placing the pad and saddle on him so there is nothing irritating him under the saddle. I didn't know that, did you?
My instructor Liz is really good - she is teaching me about the proper way to hold the reins.
Here I am doing an exercise to learn proper balance and posture on the horse.
At the end of the lesson I got to brush Pistol down again. I look forward to my next lesson! It's good to know there is always more to learn as we get older!
