Flora’s House Tour

On Sunday our granddaughter Flora was so excited to show us the progress on the new house that Rachael and John are having built. “Come on Grandpa. I’ll show you the house!”

Flora led the way. We went through the basement and up the steps. Flora said, “Grandpa, here is the kitchen. “



Flora went through each room explaining what is happening in each area. The living room is on the front of the house and the doors will lead out onto a covered deck.



On the first floor are also the dining area, pantry, and a bathroom.

Flora then said, “Now Grandpa, we have to climb the stairs to see my room.” Up she went like a robin after a worm. She was so proud to show us her bedroom! What fun!



In addition to Flora’s room, Mom and Dad’s bedroom, a guest bedroom, two bathrooms, and a laundry room with linen closet are found on this level. When Flora showed me the toilet, she said “Grandpa, this does not work yet”. She flushed it and it worked! “Grandpa, that really cracks me up!” Off she went to spread the news to Grandma.



As we looked out Flora’s bedroom windows, there was Mark Johnson mowing grass. He and his wife Kate live next door. They are former students and friends from Glenville.



Neighbors on the opposite side also stopped for a visit. Scooter and Kelly have recently remodeled their house. This photo shows Kelly with their pet canine. I know that this is a strange looking DUDE!



John and Rachael rested while Flora went off to play with the kids on the street. Flora’s energy is amazing!
