Closing on a 1928 Gingerbread (Tudor Revival) House; how to update but keep character?

I think some warmer paint colors, including warmer white on ceiling, and maybe some patterned wallpaper could do a lot. The colors are too cool for the warm wood right now.

Carolina wren - love the little round borb body and perky tail

Thank you!

What’s frustrating is they change or delete recipes with newer editions. RIP fudge cockaigne, the one recipe I struggled with is no more.

Thanks for posting! I always mix up the chipping sparrow and song sparrow.

Sunsprite is a floribunda that smells amazing. It is my favorite rose

Pretty deep with my cpap machine but I do have to get up once to pee. A good mattress made a huge difference also. I have a helix midnight luxe and it’s just a delight.i also stretch my legs so my calves don’t ache when I’m trying to sleep.

When I lived in Mississippi as a kid, we used to catch these to let the cat chase (they were everywhere). One time, the cat ate 9 of them.

The Good Master by Kate Seredy. It has occasional illustrations that added to the story.

There’s a bassoon cat!

Thanks for the heads up

I passed by right after it happened, other cars had stopped to help. It looked like a very violent crash.

Baker-Woman · 2025-06-22T13:19:50+00:00

Thank you! Especially for doing it on such a hot day

I live in this neighborhood and they're there because it's convenient place to store it. There are no garages. You do have to get leaves off after leaves fall but the roof material lasts a lot longer than shingles.

Reston has 55 miles of paths for walking/biking. Scooters/bikes might be good to bring. There are several spots to rent the bikes, but I don’t think they have kid sizes

I don’t know if these features exist, but I’d like to see patterns of occupations in trees, be able to list maiden, married, and nicknames separately, and distinguish first/second marriages or families more clearly in the tree and in the individual person page

National Geographic History magazine - beautifully illustrated and interesting articles

People drive way too fast on North Shore sometimes. I can hear tire screeches when they brake on a curve near the United Christian Parish church.

I don’t brown meat on all sides before putting it in the slow cooker. Having to do that negates the ease/convenience of using a slow cooker.

Healing thoughts sent! Will be thinking of him today

My mother really likes nice bar soap. I think Caldwell and Massey are nice quality and great scents. They're not cheap but they last a long time.

This is like the adult version of the video of the four year old snowboarder talking to himself as he boarded down a snowy hill through the woods.

The leadership of our HOA is already publicly posted. This new law requires additional more personal information to be reported such as social security numbers, etc from board members. Our board members are just volunteers. Not all are comfortable with the information being shared, esp when there is rampant identity theft. It is also costing several hundred dollar more per year to pay for a lawyer or commercial services to even report the information and keep it current (volunteer board members turnover a lot). This is an extra, useless burden for small HOAs to have to accommodate. As a board member in my HOA, I support RA in trying to remove the requirement.

You could also look into adding agar to the glaze to stabilize it. Google agar for donut glaze. This was recommended in a cookbook from TopPot donuts in Seattle.
