I need work here.................

Okay, I'm showing my age... Posts descend and I need to make one post with information and pics rather than posting a pic and a caption at a time. Otherwise the result is thus (scroll down and read up). I'll get the hang of this.
Inside, again..........................

Inside.............................

Sarah, this one's for you

1956. Prairie style home. Still waiting to see if an architecturally correct addition (to left) is to be in the works. Look below- some pcs of the interior of prow like design.

I guess I need to choose an image first, then write. Oh, silly me

Wonder what I look like? Not a pretty picture. Better heard than seen. Don't expect a lot of shots of yours truly. Truly.

Maybe More Pictures Will Help

Might be my reader(s) need more pictures to pique his(s)/her(s) interest in my drivel. It doesn't say much for the collective intellectual level of my writing (you thought I was going to slam the readership, but nay, what a suicidal move that would be- like shooting the horse you're riding.

Noble Nobel (oxymoron)

I feel I'm entitled to a Nobel prize, say.......... peace prize........... for all the peacekeeping efforts I plan to make. After all, the new initiative is to be expected to accomplish that which would qualify as Nobel prize worthy. Sign me up, I promise not to disappoint.
Also, keep me in mind for the Nobel in literature- I've read Mein Kampf, Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Anne what's her name's diary....... I can identify with European angst. Don't overlook me just because I'm not from Austria or Germany or Luxembourg or any other hotbed of angst filled hotbed Euro village. (see, I can write). Keep in mind the best of Europeans boated to the US to get away from the oppression that was their lives and the rest remained in their villages writing about the repression of those who remained so they could receive the Nobel.
While I'm ranting sour grapes.............. have you noticed that the heavyweight division in boxing is dominated by eastern bloc, Russian (and boy are they the poster men of repression- I read The Gulag Archipelago) European types. If the powers that be awarded a Nobel for boxing, we probably wouldn't get that either.
Oh, ya, if you read this stuff, comment on it so I can make an assessment as to whether I'm a lunatic or not, and if so, how much of a danger to society I might be. Scale of 1 to 10. Thanks.
