I’m glad you’re home safely, Moof. Your house sounds a lot like the one I lived in growing up, except mine wasn’t that old. I’ve been worried about y’all with the news reports of the bad weather you had; so I’m glad to see you posting, since that means you obviously have power!
Make those that tracked it, clean it, hon, and give you a break!
Love ya
Shel

brrr ..no insulation doesn’t sound good …the rest of it sounds facinating!

Packing …unpacking … I think those are about to become two very foul words in my vocabulary!

A 300 year old house - wow! In my Los Angeles a 40 year is considered an “old” house. I’m fascinated and hope that you’ll tales about the house. Being well informed on my hated HIPAA and other paper regulations I would not have the guts to learn your “APCA” course voluntarily. Hurray for your bravery!

Welcome home. I think a 300-year old house is a phenomenal thing to have, despite the incoveniences. This surely is a heritage structure. Three centuries is out of the question here on the west coast, where 150 years is amazingly old. That’s why it’s kind of nice to be traipsing among venerable structures here in Grenoble for the time we’re here. My wife had never been to Europe, so she’s quite dazzled by the antiquity of it all.
Until later, my dear friend,
Ian

I think that old homes are really neat, but having lived in a 100 year old house, I know that it isn’t as cool as it ‘reads’.

The history of these types of homes is the most enjoyable part of it all by far!

I was wondering…
Has it been a part of your family for multiple generations?

Glad you are home safe and sound.

later…

Welcome home. We talked a little about med records and structure at our meeting last week. Sorry you had to suffer through HIPPA *yawn*

Bee - I envy you snow birds … where do you winter?

—

Dr. Flea … Massachusetts can HAVE my house, with my compliments! *LOL*

—

Shel … the weather was, indeed, quite rough. High winds, mostly, although we had a bit of flooding, too. And Sweety, if I could get those that tacked to clean it … I’d be a different person, living with different people … *sigh*

—

Madd, I’ll share more about my house, but I guarantee that it’s definitely not wonderful! *cough!* ;o)

—

Wolfbaby, the class I was just taking was difficult for reasons outside of the material. You’ll see what I mean when you get there.

—

Pk … yes, I’m sure you understand about the packing and unpacking … and apparently, you seem to understand about the lack of insulation, too. ;o)

—

Dr. Engel … I bet you’d do just fine in the APCA course I’m taking. You know a lot more about computers than you let on! I’m sure you’re already quite well versed in medical records and all of that stuff, though. I think I’m allergic to HIPAA … 0.o

—

Ahhh Ian, define phenomenal …

If you mean that a 300 year old house somehow relates to being a phenomenon of sorts, then yes, I agree. Otherwise … it’s more like “interesting” … in the Chinese sense.

You made me fall in love with France when you wrote about how nice and quiet it is, but here you’re mentioning “antiquities” and suddenly, I’m no longer in love! *LOL* ;o)

—

TJ … you are so right. This house is, quite literally, the bane of my existence. It does have a history, though. It was built in what was the center of “town” … now the center is 3 miles away, and this is countryside. My husband’s father, who was 91 when he died last year, was born in my bedroom. When I moved into here, we moved around generations of other people’s furniture, and stored items. This last August was our 26th year here.

—

Dr. Anon … I’m sorry I had to suffer through HIPAA too. I’ve got my own ideas about HIPAA and privacy priorities … *rolls eyes* … I’m not sure that HIPAA has been all that helpful …
