how odd! 😄
robinrahne 10:50pm
I'm shocked.
robinrahne 10:50pm
No...no, I'm not.
earldebuke 10:51pm
L HOw about you, Rahne, if you or your DH won the big bucks enough for a house or two.. what sort of house you think?
robinrahne 10:53pm
Well...we have a house.
earldebuke 10:53pm
Oh sure. Be practical 😉
robinrahne 10:54pm
But maybe a "cottage" (of some size) with land in a more remote location. A get-away.
earldebuke 10:54pm
T storm in area so if I vanish you know why
earldebuke 10:54pm
A get away option sounds nice.
catnik 10:54pm
lotto
catnik 10:54pm
earldebuke 10:55pm
Wow. That's gloriously quirky
robinrahne 10:56pm
Lovely.
catnik 10:56pm
I mean, if we wanna dream?
catnik 10:57pm
Straight up gilded age mansion, yes
earldebuke 10:57pm
I like it
robinrahne 10:57pm
Actually, was at the point last week of looking at real estate ads in Nova Scotia.
earldebuke 10:57pm
Screams Freehold.
robinrahne 10:57pm
Oh, it does.
earldebuke 10:57pm
Oh yeah, moving to Canada is on the list of 'If I could'
earldebuke 10:57pm
and Nova Scotia appeals a lot!
earldebuke 10:58pm
British Columbia is overhyped. 😉
catnik 10:58pm
PEI
catnik 10:58pm
Yes, because of Anne.
catnik 10:58pm
and red roads and fairy forests and windswept beaches
earldebuke 10:59pm
Well, yes. G Green Gables calls
robinrahne 10:59pm
Nova Scotia is quirky. 🙂
catnik 11:00pm
it is!
catnik 11:00pm
Canada would be nice
catnik 11:00pm
But I do like old houses
catnik 11:00pm
I grew up in a 1910 four-square
catnik 11:00pm
stained glass windows, all the original hardwood
robinrahne 11:02pm
Oh, good grief.....
robinrahne 11:02pm
This is my Uncle Tom's house.
robinrahne 11:03pm
I think.
earldebuke 11:03pm
My house prefs seem to be all over the place. I like victorians , but I also enjoy mid century modern... LOVE big windows if I can get them. As I've gotten older I've grown to find sunlight a big source of cheer
robinrahne 11:03pm
catnik 11:03pm
lovely!
catnik 11:03pm
I want a tower
catnik 11:03pm
and a window seat
catnik 11:03pm
and built in bookshelves
earldebuke 11:04pm
Oh I love that area.
catnik 11:04pm
these are not uncommon in pre-war stuff
catnik 11:04pm
but youngstown is a LOT of midcentury ranch-and-cape-cod
earldebuke 11:04pm
Water nearby... plenty of green
robinrahne 11:05pm
It's a whole compound. Much interior updating since last I was there, forever ago.
catnik 11:06pm
I didn't know you had folk in canada
earldebuke 11:07pm
Rahne is half Canadian (IIRC)
robinrahne 11:08pm
Yup. Dual citizenship. Parents grew up in NS (though Mum was actually born in NY state).
catnik 11:08pm
Oh, man
