Sandy, I actually live in a 4 level split level house. There are 6 steps between floors I have the bedrooms, living room dining room and kitchen, family room and mud room/ entrance from garage, and the basement.
my son lives in a 4 level home/condo that has 16 steps between levels. I will take my split level any day. He is near DC where property is at a premium, so they build up, not out

Good morning all. You can tell Fall is coming here in the morning but
it still heats up later in the day. Moved into our new home last week and
the amount of stuff to put away is overwhelming. Sandy, I totally understand
your post about realtors' photos. The home we bought was shown as tan
in the multiple listings, in person it is a darker brown (yuk). We still bought
it. Blessings to everyone, enjoy the day!
A little nugget sent to me by another coffee nut.
" You haven't had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine needle while it's running"
Enjoy, everyone!
There is never enough coffee. Ever. Best fake holiday yet!
Sandy, where I grew up there were lots of 4-level split levels, I always found the entrance, in the middle of a staircase, to be awkward... but mostly, I think if I were ever to buy another house I'd be looking for a ranch. Or an elevator. I'm only in my 30s! If you're thinking about the world's smallest 3-bedroom condo with no garage, attic, or basement, in Atlanta, let me know, I will sell for $1 more than what we owe!! ;-) The bonus of our house is that it is hoarder-proof. There is literally nowhere to hoard stuff...
I'm settling into my new routines and responsibilities at work this year, I've been managing social media for a friend who runs a PDF pattern company (Candy Castle Patterns) but has been ill, so I'm relieved to be putting that behind me this week and going back to focusing on fun stuff in my free time.
Confession: I've been reading lots of trashy, low-budget spin-offs of Pride and Prejudice. My mom gave me her old kindle, and there were 86 books on there, I figured it would be foolish to wipe it before reading a good portion of her novels. Well, they are complete nonsense, and I'm sure Jane feels betrayed by me, but they are amusing and light hearted. I'm sure Jane will forgive me, after all, my son is named after Mr. Bennet ;-)
I hope you all had a fantastic day, I'm heading to bed....
(Passing on the house offer . . . but you should see my kitchen table, floor, cabinet tops . . . talk about hoarders)
I download books on my Kindle and seldom read what they are about before I click that buy button. So often within the first couple pages someone has already stripped their clothes off . . . what is with that? I delete more than I read but often get into a story before all the excitement starts to play. I guess if you aren't a talented and well-read author that you'll spice things up to attract some sort of attention. I'll never forget the one time Al was in the library and came home all excited because there was a new Danielle Steel book and he put my name down on the on-call list. I laughed, called the library and had them remove it - just not my cup of trash either. And then there are the books that I often wonder why I'm still reading them because the topic is weird but yet I am glued to it because I just have to know how it comes out.
Wish I could head to bed, but I've got to get the kitchen table cleaned off. Anyone need several sets of dishes? How about several sets of glasses? Bowls? Anything? How about a nice crystal salt and pepper set? Chopsticks?
Gee, can't get any takers. But if you are only being quiet because you don't want your friends here to know . . . just show up at the front door with your moving van!! Hurry!!

You are about to exceed the limits of my medication.
I have to share that this is probably what happened to boB at the retreat on Saturday:

or maybe this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-9sVsfpkDQ
No one is sharing details and unfortunately there wasn't a video running . . . just saying.
Yes, I was there it was something like that!
The funniest part was we chased the spider several times and the darn arachnid kept running in circles right back to the same spot in front of us! I tried to give it a chance to live on, but it chose its own fate by returning to harass again! The only option was to have it meet the sole of my shoe!
And then get a Bob off the top of the table!

How in the world did I miss that???? Oh that would have been too funny to watch!
