From top to bottom:
Once my son Alex was in front of Brian's 30-inch computer screen, we didn't hear from Alex for a while...
Second, "hard pine" flooring in the kitchen, which Brian says "can't be had for love or money." Third, Brian's pinball machine from 1976, the year when the company "went digital" but that was a little while after they made THIS machine.
Art Deco doorknob in a part of the house still being fixed up; Art Deco light fixture in the entryway; and an "enclosed radiator." Art by Brian's grandmother. A graffiti-scarred remnant of a time when the house was not so well-maintained and luxurious. Brian's itsy-bitsy closet, which he is plotting to expand, somehow.
Working laundry chute. One of the unique arches in the house. Brian's old Zenith radio with vacuum tubes...
"December the 7th, 1941...a date that will live...IN INFAMY!"
Second to last; the cedar closet in the old "nanny's room." Last, the windows in the nanny's room. I can't help but think of something my friend Connie says about old houses. She walks into a house and wonders, "Who rocked a baby in this room? Who was that baby, and who did they grow up to become?"
My next post about "Casa (Del) Brian" will include some of the history Brian has gathered about his residence, including "Danny and The Brewerettes."

I truly love little boys. Especially boys who are in the stages of not knowing quite sure who their parents are, or what they are doing.
ReplyDeleteAt their age, they are smarter than the likes of us "old folks". I am in awe of these kids. They're cute, smart and savvy. Johnny...let it go, Dude!
Your child is absolutely adorable!
By the way...I adore you, John!
