We’ve been in the new house for over a month now. We still have much to do – lots of unpacking, cleaning, arranging and furniture purchasing. We’re having fun in the middle of it all. One fun thing about moving is that you discover plenty of new and interesting things about your new place over time. It’s a fun process of discovery.


Growing up, I always wanted to find a secret passage in my house. I figured I could hide in it when the bad guys showed up, and maybe sneak out of the house to call the cops and save my family. Alas, no secret passages were found, but thankfully I never needed to hide from any bad guys.
Just the other day Anna came upon by far the most mysterious discovery yet…
Sure, this looks like a normal window. And yet when you go inside and look out, all you see is a bathroom wall.
How bizarre is that? We have a secret window. If I didn’t like the bathroom I’d want to take a sledge to it just to see if there’s an alien mummy hidden in my walls. Hmm…
My childhood home had a “bonus” room that was only accessible through a door in my closet. It was a sizable room, about 8×20, with a window at the far end.
One day we had a professional window washer come by and after about an hour he knocked on the door and seemed really confused that the total number of outside windows and inside windows didn’t match up.
To F with him, we just shrugged and said we’d never noticed before and didn’t mention the bonus room. He was, as they say, spooked.

I always wanted secret passages too, for much the same reason. And watching “Webster” didn’t help that, either. I love your secret window. Perhaps you could get some x-ray glasses and take a look.

Hello Precious Friends!! How are you? I have been thinking of you and wondering how you are! Casey reminded me of your web site, so I took a little look-see!
Congrats on the new house! That is very cool. Could you send me some more pics?
By the way, the demitasse coffee cup/saucer- very chic. Whoever gave that to you has great taste. : )
Let’s talk soon!
