Huzzah! The post for our family vacation is finally up! It took me long enough, but at last, here it is, in all its dubious glory. First up we have the George Wythe House.

I do hate unproductive cycles. I mean – what on earth was I DOING all August??? I wish, Maru. But anyway – onto the meager nutshell. Warning: Major Gif-Zone ahead.…
Visits To My Grandparents Country House Had A Special Draw For Me . . . .. I can still see you, Tosca . . . You lived down the old road, past the lake, but what incredible hearing you had! All we had to do was go outside and laugh and make a lot of noise and when we looked…
