So I'm trying to pay a very busy waitress for my lunch when I get into a conversation with a charming woman who is doing the same thing. Turns out her Mom has recently passed away and she has her house up for sale. Off we go for a walk. I love this house! A beautiful, classic old house on a lovely quiet street near where we are now. A large entryway opens into a good sized living room and large dining room which opens onto a ta-ta! - patio! Outside, off the patio is the ta-ta! - artist's studio - with it's own bathroom (this area was probably originally a maid's room). Did I mention that the ground floor also has a large kitchen with window opening to the patio! And a small work room off the kitchen, with a door to the patio! Up the stairs at mid-level there is a small bedroom overlooking the street side. Further up, on the actual top floor are 3 more bedrooms, which are accessed by a separate private stairway in front of the building, and which I did not get to see since they are renter occupied by 3 lovely young women. I can so see us in this house - Gene painting in his studio, me working on my laptop on the patio, Gene grilling fish for a candle-lit dinner on the patio, entertaining in the large living room and dining rooms, me painting the walls new and interesting colors, room for my books and Gene's paintings. This is the house that has been waiting for me my whole life. Oh, by the way, did I mention that the price is at least twice what we can afford? Well, anyhow, I had a great day dreaming about it. And I met a new friend. Beatrice and I are going to meet for coffee one day next week.
