ReplyDeleteInteresting post -- I couldn't imagine living beside the ocean and never going outside!! She should have put on a hat to keep her hair from getting messed up :-)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading the article about how Evelyn & Leonard remodeled the house. The line about having to respect the house is perfect -- no matter if your house is big or small, grand or simple, it's important to work with the spirit of the house.
From the sound of it, this house is now full of laughter and fun and wonderful memories :-)
