Time Off

I've taken a LOT of time off from blogging.  We still don't have wired internet out here, and are using a mifi card for internet access.  It limits the amount of usage we have every month, and uploading photos for the blog was using it all up.  Not to mention life as a mother kept me very busy.  I have a goal of blogging lots, and then going to town once a week or so and using coffee shop internet to upload photos.  Because, honestly what is a blog without the photos to accompany it?  Lets see if I get my 'me time', and can keep on top of sharing my thoughts on here.

Front door update

Just a quick update on the front door before we have family over for supper.  This is the gift I got for Peter this Christmas:
It's the interior part of a turn of the century doorbell.  Solid brass, made from an original wax mold. 


This is the outside of the doorbell.  It was the original doorbell for our home, and is made from copper.  The turn knob is a little bent, but it still works fine.  When rung it sounds like a bicycle bell!  We're so excited to have a doorbell, that we've hung a sign asking people to ring it.  It sure beats having people pound as loud as they can on our door!
