The Historic District

A few pics- will post more later! IMG_0097.jpg This is the hallway under the stairs. This sconce matches the ones in the living room, posted below. Circa 1900 wrought iron with new mica shades made to order. IMG_0011.jpg IMG_0413.JPG IMG_0093.jpg This picture is how we keep it most often. The right ...

I apologize for the delay in responding! I have been given a clean bill of health - cancer free. I go for MRIs moving forward and pray that it never returns. The cure rate for Hodgkin's Lymphoma is excellent so I am very hopeful. As for the house, thank you! We love the radiators, especially when yo...

Thank you, all! I am ready to move forward, that's for sure!

Well it took a bit longer, but we are closer to living on the first floor, promise. I'll have pictures of progress this weekend, but first I thought I'd post a personal update. Yesterday marked the last of 12 visits to the chemo ward at MSKCC. While I am undoubtedly chubbier (the doctor's descriptio...
