I can't even adequately express how much I loved this place. It really spoke to my soul (Whirling Betty you know - i'm sure) Here is the exterior, I apologize for the weird quality of the photo. It's the only one I took and I took it at night. See all the beautiful ivy? I wish I had taken a close up of the porticos as well. They were lovely and looked like they had roses on them (white plaster roses).

The front Hallway welcomes you! I love that Grandfather Clock. Love it!

Our bed - and no I didn't jump on it because it was "squeaky" if it was going to squeak it was going to be for the "right" reasons! *wink*

The fireplace in our room - the collection of books is amazing. Some are shown on the mantle (along with that awesome mantle clock)

The house I lived in as a child in PA had skeleton keys like this! I had to get a close-up for my sisters!

I loved this piano too, I wanted to play but didn't. I'm sure Jo Ann wouldn't have minded though! She was so accomodating and warm!

The couch in the parlor where I fell asleep Saturday afternoon reading Lewis Carroll's "Through The Looking Glass"1 (boy was I embarassed when I got busted)

I hope this gives you a quick walk-through of our visit. There are so many pics I neglected to take. Of Jo Ann (she is just precious - reminded us of Jessica Tandy), of her wonderful kitchen, beautiful formal diningroom etc....
Well i'm off the to Dentist. How's THAT for a downer end of my post!!!
