The house is charming from the outside, built in the German style of stone. We have driven past that home every time we drive to the ranch. Tonight we had dinner in the home of Karen and Jacques.
The home was built in 1902 and has the same foot print. The ceilings are 10 feet tall and each room is 14 by 14. Ken commented that each room seems like a cube. The previous owners remodeled the kitchen. The stove is a six burner gas stove, which tells you everything you need to know about the kitchen. The whole rest of the home seems like a period piece, except it is comfortable.
Karen has owned restaurants in New York and she has run a boutique deli. Also she is a wonderful cook. We sampled her cooking tonight and it was delicious. It is a wonder to me that people actually like to cook. I have always cooked to get the product.
Jacques and Karen moved here 7 years ago from Long Island. His business is selling transportation artifacts which he does now from the hill country. Karen and Jacques are interesting delightful people and it was a pleasure dining in their home.
I actually kind of talked myself into being invited. Karen helps out with the caterer and I introduced her once to say that Karen is a wonderful cook, but I had not yet tasted her food!! Everyone laughed and after our 55th, Karen invited us for dinner. Lucky us.
