now back to our irregularly scheduled programming...
Okay, so vacation is over, summer's winding down into fall, and I'm finally back in front of my computer. It feels like we're making real progress, though, and I'll soon have good pictures to post!
While I was gone, Josh went about pulling up the kitchen floor (if you look at earlier posts with kitchen pictures you'll see the ugly early-sixties vintage 'tile'-look asbestos-vinyl flooring), only to discover that it was backed with an asbestos paper. He quickly decontaminated and sealed it all up under a nice new plywood subfloor. We've picked some nice new VCT flooring in white with a red border (well, mostly...we had to narrow it down to two 'whites' and order a whole box of each), and after much additional labor we'll have a new floor.
Also while I was gone, someone posted a comment on another earlier post about a nearby house for sale. It goes like this:
"Is this the house at xxx xxx? If so, I just can't believe it because I signed a contract to buy it yesterday. (Seriously!) I just happened to stumble onto your site doing some random 50s searches and I recognized the bathroom. Small world... "
Yes, in fact, it is. I redacted the address since I don't want everyone to know exactly where I live, but yes, that is your house, and I have the best of intentions to come bring you cookies now that you're well settled in.
Anyhow, I promise to be back soon with some nice pictures and news on our gardening (among other stuff!)

I have read through one history
Each of you has your personal story; it is your history. Keeping a diary or writing your feelings in a special notebook is a wonderful way to learn how to think and write about who you are -- to develop your own identity and voice.
People of all ages are able to do this. Your own history is special because of your circumstances: your cultural, racial, religious or ethnic background. Your story is also part of human history, a part of the story of the dignity and worth of all human beings. By putting opinions and thoughts into words, you, too, can give voice to your inner self and strivings.
A long entry by Anne Frank on April 5, 1944, written after more than a year and a half of hiding from the Nazis, describes the range of emotions 14-year-old Anne is experiencing:
". . . but the moment I was alone I knew I was going to cry my eyes out. I slid to the floor in my nightgown and began by saying my prayers, very fervently. Then I drew my knees to my chest, lay my head on my arms and cried, all huddled up on the bare floor. A loud sob brought me back down to earth, and I choked back my tears, since I didn't want anyone next door to hear me . . .
"And now it's really over. I finally realized that I must do my school work to keep from being ignorant, to get on in life, to become a journalist, because that's what I want! I know I can write. A few of my stories are good, my descriptions of the Secret Annex are humorous, much of my diary is vivid and alive, but . . . it remains to be seen whether I really have talent . . .
"When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that's a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer? I hope so, oh, I hope so very much, because writing allows me to record everything, all my thoughts, ideals and fantasies.
"I haven't worked on Cady's Life for ages. In my mind I've worked out exactly what happens next, but the story doesn't seem to be coming along very well. I might never finish it, and it'll wind up in the wastepaper basket or the stove. That's a horrible thought, but then I say to myself, "At the age of 14 and with so little experience, you can't write about philosophy.' So onward and upward, with renewed spirits. It'll all work out, because I'm determined to write! Yours, Anne M. Frank
