Yesterday, the self cleaning oven made the kitchen hot so Rita decided to serve us dinner in the Guest House. It was great sport. Ken and I have never lived in the Guest House so we were looking at it with fresh eyes. And only once this summer had we been upstairs so it was a pleasure for us to enjoy the place. The old Carriage House was charming and elegant but this new Guest House is more user friendly. It is a very pleasant place to spend time.
David Nickerson re-made the maple table after the fire so it is beautiful and I enjoyed eating at the table. And with 8 extra feet of space, the whole place seemed much bigger than just 8 more feet. The lighting was excellent so Gill and I did a good job with the lights. The furniture also fits well. In fact, the couch is more comfortable than in our main house so perhaps soon we will replace our living room furniture. The art was purchased at an auction but we could stand more, especially over the stairs. We have two full walls totally void of any art. But not now.
We did install a second railing to upstairs at the Guest House, something we should have done at the beginning of the season. A special treat at our dinner was to eat beets from our garden, along with Swiss Chard. Delicious. Both were harvested by Rita. Dining at The Guest House was another simple pleasure that brought us real joy.
