    We never will be picked up for a photo shoot, we just don't live that way.

    Very nice Larry. I'd give you $20 for that big grandfather's clock!

    :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:. I just bet you would! I had to work for a bit to save up for that one. It is an anniversary clock edition. Cindy and I felt it was an appropriate addition. I really held my breath when it was moved to this location.
    The clock is a Howard Miller, made somewhere out near your way!

    99 has a grandfathers clock also. Not as large or nice as that one, but still noisy. It gets shut off every night and sometimes during the evening while this old dog is watching TV.
    I always thought I would enjoy one full time, sure glad I didn't have to spend the money to find out differently.

    We share a few things in common. Dog asleep on leather sofa - ceiling fan - woodstove - big soft easy rocker - 2 computers - and way too much stuff. Nice home. We live in 'homes' not houses. All the best with getting things organized.

    You have a rooster in your kitchen. Great idea. No need for an alarm clock.

    Yes, and he is low maintenance. But for the alarm clock, we have a 4 and 6 yr old grandkids Living upstairs. They are down here first thing in the morning and right after school! Life is very interesting now!

    We do ok until the kids bring in more totes to sort through. I don't have more space so I have to parcel it out!

    Yup, that was too close. Ceiling is lower here than upstairs where we first were. Lost some headroom to the flooring, ceiling and support material. But it was all worth it. Everything is new and updated.
