this amazing house was 2 houses down from the b&b in OK.
it was so beautiful (once)
and so sad at the same time.
it was tall and grand.
you can’t tell from the picture how big it really was.
i can imagine how it looked when someone was proud to own it.
i wonder who it was.
there were details and extras on everything.
and everything was overscale.
it’s sad that it is so run down…to the point of no return most likely.
there are holes in the roof which ruined all 3 stories of wood floors.
the gigantic porch lights and columns were FULL of bird nests.
the porch was full of holes and i was worried i may fall through.
and the worst part…when we peeked in the windows…
inside it’s totally stripped of almost all it’s woodwork.
it’s for sale….
any takers?
you may want to watch the money pit first.
i love that movie…
although sometimes it hits a little too close to home.
melissa @ the inspired room-I cannot believe the price of that place! You could NEVER get a house like that in ANY CONDITION for that price in Portland Oregon. That is a real deal. But, then again, I did watch Money Pit. It hits close to home too, so I would think twice. But what a fun project if you had plenty of money!
Liz-That must have been one stunning residence in its heyday.
Liz-Whoa. There are a hundred stories in that old place to be sure. What beautiful pictures, I surely hope no one tears it down. Great post.
Mamazboyz-I just found your site..we’re a lot alike…I love all your scrapbooking pages..Do you do digital or the “real” thing..just curious..What a great idea to display them..I might have to do the same…Instead of looking at books when I’m I’ve lost my creative juices..I think I’ll head to your website..they look GREAT!! Come and visit me…
emily loria-What an interesting old house. I wonder how it got to be in the shape it is in. I bet it would take triple the price of the house to fix it and make it liveable. The details are fun though, It would be fun to get my hands on that house and make it amazing!
traci-wow – it really is a beautiful house. i just love all the details. i went to the realtor site and looked at all the pictures. i would love a house like that.
Jill (One Wired Woman) -Wow… if that house could only talk. I bet it has some really great and some really sad stories… like when its woodwork was be ripped out. Hope someone with a great vision & lots of energy makes the purchase. 🙁 ~Jill
Jenny Pocknall-I looked at the realtor’s site. It seems awfully cheap for a house that size, even if it is really run down…. Or maybe Sydney is one of the most expensive places to live in the world. If you wanted to get anything half way decent in Sydney, you are looking at $600,000 plus. Maybe I will move over there.
jeanetta-oooh i’m in love! if only i had an unlimited supply of money it would make the relationship perfect. its so sad when beautiful houses like that are left.
Allikayes Mama-You are a wonderful photographer!! I always love to just see your pictures – and then as an added bonus- you’re such a great and fun writer too!! That is an amazing house – bittersweet?
Jenny -What a beautiful house, I want to buy it too! … and I’m in Australia!!
PS: I’ll just take the opp to say I love your blog & your sense of style – gorgeous!
Lanny Stanard -Oh my goodness, I love that house. Just think back in the day,when life was happy for it… I’m betting it was a grand house how sad. I wish I had alot of money so I could buy that house, and make it happy again but,sorry no money…
Lanny
chris-What a house , they don’t even come close now days, could you imagine all that detail work, incredible, thank you for sharing it , I am in awe.
It’s a real shame to see something so beautiful in such disrepair,how much are they asking for that place?
traci -ohhhhhh , how I love this place and all places like it!!! Its a crime in my opinion to not care for a place like this. You all should buy it…I bet you could get a great deal and you are fabulous with design!!!
we ended craig’s birthday with strawberry cake at 8:30.
we didn’t eat dinner till 8:00…on a school night!
it was just a busy day.
there are always lots of helpers to blow out candles.
earlier in the day we took in some sun.
bubble guns are too cool.
i picked up the kids from grandma’s on monday morning.
poor annie had so much fun she just conked out.
her seat belt doubles as a pillow.
craig’s birthday gift from me was a weekend alone.
our parents took the kids for the whole weekend!
thank you so much…it was fabulous.
we pretended we were young and cool and kid-less.
we worked on the house, we went out, we cooked grown up food.
i think craig’s birthday weekend was pretty great.
he agrees.
and these are just a few happy pics of the craft room all cleaned up on saturday.
it doesn’t look like this anymore.
i’ll show you soon what’s going on in there.
now…i MUST get out in that sunshine.
melissa @ the inspired room-Wait, birthday backwards? Does that mean he is not 34 but 43?
Pretending we are young, hip, cool and childless is one of our favorite things to do. We hardly ever get to experience it though. Good times!!
Sounds like a perfect happy birthday!
Crystal-my honey would LOVE that cake…how did you make it? He has a birthday coming up soon and I have been looking for the perfect strawberry cake… 🙂
Have a great day friend!
🙂
Diane-Happy Bday to your hubby.
Gorgeous pictures, my goodness!
As always…drooling over your beautiful home and trying to train my eyes to good decorating.
Have a terrific week.
the-queeens-castle -Hey Meg,
Happy birthday to your hubby.
Passing on some fun…..
YOU’VE BEEN TAGGED….
It’s as easy as 1,2,3!!
1. Pick up the book nearest to you & go to page 123.
2. Find the fifth sentence.
3. Type & post the next three sentences after the fifth one.
Then pass it on!
chris-It always looks so fun at your house, a weekend at home all grown up again ,wow sounds good, the food looks so yummy.
Chris
Mrs. B-Hi! I just discovered your blog. It looks great! I love the pictures from your home and am so jealous of your craft room!
Jill (One Wired Woman) -Wow… what a great idea to have a grown-up weekend!! Those potatoes are making me moan just looking at them! See my latest blog post and you’ll see why. One last observation… when I first caught sight of that ribbon madness, I thought of myself! That is just so me. You’ve inspired me to organize. Happy Birthday Mr. Whatever!! 🙂 ~Jill
candy-That cake looks so YUMMY, not to mention the plate of food. 🙂 Glad ya’ll had a great weekend. You take the best pictures!! They are always so bright and colorful, cheers me up. 🙂
Lee Ann -hooray for Grandparents! Sounds like a fabulous weekend. Strawberry cake is my fave. Love the picture of Talby and the bubbles.
Lisa-Happy Birthday to your husband. I have to let you know I read your blog almost everyday and have come to love (in a blog reader way) your sweet family. Annie has such a laugh out loud character about her. Everytime I see a story or picture with her in it I ususally laugh out loud. Thanks for such a great blog and sharing your family tales with us.
Take Care,
Lisa
Chicago Jen -Happy Belated birthday Craig. Sorry we missed it, I was in Honduras and Dave had the kids all week. If Meg did what I told her to, you probably didn’t miss us. love ya
Chicago Jen -Sorry to have missed your birthday. I was in Honduras and Dave had the kids all week. If Meg did what I told her to do, you probably didn’t miss my birthday wishes.
Craig's mom -Happy 34th! Glad to hear you can still dunk a basketball….such good memories we have of your basketball days and how fun to see Scott developing a love for the game like you did when you were his age. Have a great year!
Shannon -Happy Birthday little brother!! I love you, Shannon
traci -that is a very nice picture and I just noticed you two have the SAME SMILE!!! How funny. Hope you guys have a great birthday celebration!!!
carissa-you are too funny!
Happy Birthday Meg’s honey! 🙂
May this be your best year yet!!! blessings!
Jill (One Wired Woman) -Happy Birthday!! We all love your wife’s blog. You guys make a cute couple. I think my hubby is already a little jealous of my new blog. He thinks I’m spending more time with the keyboard than him. 🙂 ~Jill
mom -Happy Birthday,Craig. Hope your day is terrific.
(what a great picture!)
it’s hard to see
but half of this great big old tree just blew over in the wind.
it must have been so loud.
we continued on our walk
and came home with this.
he followed us all the way home.
no one was looking for him.
we gave him a bath and brushed him.
we fed him a hot dog.
all the kids loved on him all evening.
they wanted to keep him so badly.
i called the humane society the next day
and got a call back from the supposed “owner.”
s.o: “i let the dog out and my wife is so worried. is he really really tiny?”
me: “no…he’s small but not tiny”
s.o: “but is he a puppy?”
me: “like a baby? no…he has gray hair all over his back”
s.o: “but is his hair shaved?”
me: “no…he looks like he needs a haircut really bad?”
s.o: “i’ll be right over”
?????
is it just me or did he just describe a completely different dog?
he showed up at my door a few minutes later.
his car died in my driveway.
he was a big dude.
he said “oh yeah that’s him. that’s jackson! thanks”
he took the dog and left.
just like that…no questions or small talk.
it was over so quick.
i am wondering if he was going to try
the old switcheroo on his wife.
like on ‘meet the parents’ with mr. jinxy.
oh well…it’s not my problem right?
i kept him from getting run over by a car.
and sometimes that’s all you can do.
traci-that’s crazy – either he doesn’t pay very close attention to details or he’s pulling the switcharoo and he’s going to be in big trouble.
Amy Bell-I read your post and laughed so hard…you gave it a hot dog? that is so funny…and the Mr. Jinxy..I was thinking the same thing! Oh poor “jackson”…that story was funny, really funny. I am so wishing he had a tag!
Liz-Sounds very dodgy. Poor “Jackson” and what a pity he didn’t have a dog tag on his collar with his owner’s details.
Blanca-Oh that sounds fishy to me too. How did the dog react to him? By the way he looks like my little Daisy. I sure hope he went to the right home.
Blanca
traci -sounds fishy to me!!!
hipmomofboyz -That sounds a little strange…But I guess anyone that owns a little yorkie is kinda weird….Oh Yea, that me..I have a little 2 pound yorkie, but I think I could describe her better than that…
Jinxy
Jill (One Wired Woman) -Hummmm…. the “Mr. Jinxy Theory”… I think you may be on to something. You did all that you could though. Sounds like the kind of guy you wouldn’t want to argue with. You saved this little yorkie’s life. Kudos to you! Meg, the pet detective… your new moniker!! 🙂 ~Jill
emily loria-That is so strange about that dogs owner, you’d think he would be able to discribe it better than that! Bizarre.
I love your donut shop pictures, I love those old fashioned mom n’ pop shops that have stood the test of time– they are my favorite shops to visit, and those donuts look so yummy. Lucky. Did they give you free samples??
P.S. I hate American Idol too.
julie-Very weird. Poor dog, or poor wife, or poor real owners of dog…
cynthia-be glad…my mom has 2 of those and they are high maintenance!
that did sound a little fishy too.
i still would have been sad.
amy-That is my kind of dog! So cute! I saw Talby and Sean playing with him in front of our house and wondered where he came from. Were you sad to give him back?
i have been tagged twice…
by amy and jimaie and kate.
so 7 more random things.
i was tagged way back in november too.
let’s see….
1. i have been to the oprah show.
it’s almost 10 years ago now.
we lived in the chicago area and i called all the time when they asked for people to call in to be on a show to discuss a topic. it didn’t matter the subject i just wanted tickets. when i finally got someone to answer i was so excited. then the operator asked me “so you are a big tony bennett fan?” i said “um…yes. he’s like a frank sinatra guy right?” she semi-laughed. i told her i just wanted to come to see oprah. she put me on a list. they didn’t find enough tony bennett fans so i got to go! it was a show with the stars from general hospital…luke and laura? and then tony bennett sang and showed his paintings. it was pretty cool. i think i wore a navy blue jumper!! oh my goodness. hopefully we never see that tape.
2. i have seen every SNL show since high school.
it’s a weekly guaranteed laugh.
and to the people who say “it used to be funnier when….”
i question your loyality.
it’s always funny.
period.
i apologize ahead for the bleeped out swearing…
it’s worth it.
3. i hate american idol.
gasp!
did i admit to that?
well it’s true.
i don’t like to watch any singing on tv so that show just makes me cringe.
i don’t watch the music on SNL either.
(unless maybe it’s U2)
4. if i am going to do sit-ups (that’s a big if) i have to be in line with something.
either straight in line with the wall or lining up with floorboards. does that weirdness make sense? i can’t concentrate if i am not straight. like in an exercise class…my mat and step must be straight exactly like the instructor.
there is no picture to go with my weirdness.
5. i have accidently locked my children in my car 4 times…as far as i recall.
it could be more.
*the first time was when lauren was a baby. i shut the door and realized immediately the keys were inside. it was raining. i stopped a woman walking by and frantically sent her to get help. she came running out of the mall waving her arms and yelling “DON”T WORRY! Mall Security is ON THE WAY!”
everyone likes that story.
*the second time i was at a gas station and i locked them inside with baby lauren.
craig had to drive all the way over and help me.
*the third time i had my daycare children with me. i parked in front of my apartment building then i locked them all inside. some were asleep, some weren’t. one of their moms showed up and i was in the parking lot and said “i locked the kids in the car. our janitor is getting an extra apartment key so i can get an extra van key. sorry.”
*and the 4th time…i hit the lock while i was loading in bags of dirt in my truck. this time it was running in the k-mart parking lot with 2 babies inside in their carseats. i had to run inside and call a friend to drive to my house and go in my back door and find my extra key and then bring it to me at k-mart.
it’s rough being my friend.
thank you again sue k. if you are reading this.
6. once in high school…my friend and i stole a straw dispenser from mcdonalds.
the entire big box that you push the thing and one straw rolls out.
isn’t that terrible?
but man, at 16 years old we sure thought it was hysterical.
especially every time we got a straw while driving in her car.
7. on my first date with craig we sang “Ice Ice Baby”.
“word to your mother”
we went cruising that night with it cranked up on his stereo in his little rusty mazda glc.
good times.
*************************************************
are you glad you asked amy and jimaie?
that’s doubtful…
elisabeth (bovagoods)-i have never locked my kids in the car but once in college i left my car locked and running in a walgreens parking lot. all night. while i went out. i ended up walking home at the end of the night because, well…safety! the next morning my friend called me. friend: “is everything ok?” me: “yea, i’m a little hung over, why?” friend: “your car is in the walgreens parking lot and it’s running.” me: “what the…oh crap!” sure enough my little 1992 honda civic was sitting right where i left it. exhaust coming out of the tail pipe. that thing still had a quarter tank of gas left in it too! honda wasn’t kidding around when they made those fuel efficient cars.
christine -meghan
don’t watch SNL
but you just gave me a great laugh!
love your 7 random things!
Christine
Chaos-Jamie-I gotta know who you were with when you stole the straw dispenser. How did I not know this?
lulu sparkles-you crack me up! I am too embarassed to tell you how many times I have played the Vanilla Ice clip 😉 thanx
Meredith-That is the FUNNIEST meme I have ever read! I’m going to start watching SNL again!
Thanks 🙂
Mere
Allikayes Mama-Ah! My friends and I stole a McDonald’s straw dispenser too! Ours was because of a crazy scavenger hunt in high school! Crazy times! We also had a chair from KFC!!
amy-Okay, next game night I wanna hear Craig sing “Ice, Ice Baby.” Dancing, too.
Kate of All Trades-I tagged you too for one of these. But you do not have to do it!
Jimaie-oh man I LOVE SNL. seriously some of the best laughs. ever.
for some reason i hate watchign the music ont here too, i’m not exactly sure why tho?
I WANNA GO TO OPRAH! no fair. I have been to a taping of The View before tho, not nearly as exciting as Oprah right?
omg you locked your kids in the car LMAO!!! so amusing. that i haven’t done. YET. there’s still time tho.
Amy Bell-Ok, I just read your post and laughed OUT LOUD. That SNL skit was a RIOT! Oh my word! So funny…great post. I have been reading for a while…you have a wonderful blog! 🙂
carissa-write a book… would you! you’d sell millions!
you crack me up!
Blanca-I’m right there with you on American Idol. Can’t stand watching it and it gets on my nerves when people here at work talk about it.
Blanca
Jill (One Wired Woman) -One more thing and I’ll back away from the keyboard… Does anyone remember the “Simma Down Now” SNL skit? It was so funny but so short lived! I’ll have to post that video on my blog for all to enjoy. Now I’m going to simma down with another cup of coffee! 🙂 ~Jill
Jill (One Wired Woman) -Stop!! Collaborate and listen… my hubby and I know every word to the song. We love to show off to our kids only to get “oh my mom and dad are so dorky” look from them. OMG!! I had a Mazda GLC in college too! Acronym for “Great Little Car” was what I told all my college peeps. 🙂 ~Jill
Liz-Ok, that Sat. Night Live skit you tagged on here had me in the FLOOR. By far, one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. But sometimes I do miss the Church Lady. 🙂
traci-great random facts. i went to oprah once too. when we walked in and saw boxes of kleenexs under the chairs we knew we were going to see a fun one. it was firefighters who cheated on their wives after 9/11. deep. have a good day.
to the donut shop!
druber’s donuts is small town food at it’s finest.
nothing has changed in here in 30 years at least.
yet it’s charming…
i thought they made them all by hand??
they have these cool big cutters for different kinds of donuts.
the owner showed the kids how they make each kind.
and did you know when they fry them…they float?
i didn’t.
and he showed how they glaze, frost and sprinkle them.
and fill them with pudding.
i think i need a machine like this at home.
annie’s favorite kind…chocolate with sprinkles.
after all that they put them in the glass case.
wouldn’t it be fun to have a glass case at home too?
ha ha ha
i found this field trip so very interesting.
i am so glad annie begged me to come.
i was totally clueless about how donuts were made.
and now i am so hungry for a donut!
Camm -Love your blog! I may have commented once before, but can’t recall – wanted to let you know how much I look foward to your posts! I do have a question for you…I am in desperate need of suggestions…ideas for the perfect end of the year gifts for my daughters teachers…and for the preschool teacher that I help out…it is her last year…I want something that I can do with the students…to present to the teacher….would like to stay away from the typical hand-print, apple teacher tote type things that they all get! Any ideas? I sure would appreciate it!!
Thanks 😉
Sara -When I worked at Joe’s bakery in Lawrence I got to put the creme filling in the donuts. I also used to give free donuts to this one really hot guy and then a few years later we got married. ha ha. seriously, working there from 6 till midnight was so funny. At least I didn’t have to wear a hair net!
melissa @ the inspired room-Yeah, donuts float probably from all the fat. Just like I float to the top of a pool. 🙂 If you are muscular you go to the bottom. Not me!
I love how Annie is chewing on the side of the counter. I cracked up. Such a kid thing to do. And so sanitary. Where was her mother? (LOL, totally kidding). My son was just eating dinner with the most disgustingly dirty hands ever. Kids!
Such sweet photos, I need a donut. Oh, wait, no I don’t. We had strawberry shortcake for dinner. Well, dessert. We are really eager for summer.
Happy Thursday night!
Melissa
April-Yea..they float..I remember the first time I saw dounut made I was like…they float?? too….
Jimaie-that is SO cool! i love that they make them by hand, i bet they taste SO much better that way!
We used to have a Krispy Kreme in our town and i’d take my kids there for our own little field trips b/c they had a place where you could watch TONS of donuts being made…but then they closed them down 🙁 waa.
i want a donut.
Lee Ann -What fun! That’s something they’ll always remember. I can smell it now. My mom is a retired teacher. One year she had a student whose parents owned the local donut shop. They would wake him at 2am and take him to the shop and put him to sleep in the back room. He always smelled like donuts. That would almost drive me crazy. I’d want to eat one every day! Who doesn’t love a donut?
Jill (One Wired Woman) -Oh Yummy! Today’s post on my blog is about my son’s field trip too! Great minds think alike, right? 🙂 ~Jill
Gini-Oh my gosh those look fantastic….I need to step away from the photo and get back on the treadmill……..
kristin-it was good.
and i couldn’t believe the process. i will never underappreciate my drubers donut again.
glad you were there.
: )
Lori-Hey Megan – Great to hear from you! I love reading your blog. You always look like you’re having such fun – not passed out with exhaustion, which is what I’d be if I had 5 kids! Maybe once you’ve survived Lauren’s teenage years you could pass on some tips for the rest of us? Good luck!!!
Oh yeah – we moved to New Jersey last summer when my husband got a job out here. We thought we were moving into the city, but we ended up finding this place out in the wilderness. It’s crazy with the bears! I do miss Chicago. What a great city. NYC is great, too, and not too far away. It’s a long way from Kansas, though!
carissa-now THAT”S what i call a field trip! 🙂
too fun
mom -Lorel – I never knew that you went for donuts after driver’s ed. Megan – did you get to do that too?
I took Macy to Crispy Creme donuts to watch these process. It was different there – much more high tech; everything on a big conveyor belt. I like both ways, but Druber’s is much more personable.
Liz-Wow. I’m so jealous. Maybe I can convince my bosses to take a day trip to the donut shop? Adorable pics.
lorel -Whenever we go to Druber’s with you, I am reminded of Driver’s Ed. when I was 14 (so young!). A group of 2 or 3 kids and Mr. Dutchendorf, our teacher, practiced driving on the highway, in town(with more than one stoplight), and parking skills. Then we would stop and get a donut. Probably why I am such a bad driver all these years – I was either too worried about GETTING to the donut shop, or my blood sugar was spiking and crashing if it was my turn to drive afterward. hee hee
melissa @ the inspired room-Cheesy goodness.
Yep, we had a BBQ tonight followed by Strawberry Shortcake (as I mentioned in the next post). Maybe that will bring on summer.
Hey it looks like you must be making that dresser into a sink cabinet (by the previous commenter!)! I cannot wait to see how it turns out! We did that too at the beach house. It was a bigger pain than we originally expected but with the right sink it all worked out fine. I’ll show pictures soon. The hosue is getting close to being done!
Happy night,
Melissa
chris-I can not find your email??
I took a look at the dresser again, cutting down those supports will not destroy the integrity of the piece , you won’t be removing them just taking out enough to allow space for a sink, I will send you a photo of my sink installation if you like , if you email me please. Really no big deal , you will lose the drawer use but doable.
Chris
Tiffany C.-My brother and I used to practically try and kill each other when we were growing up and now we are the best of friends…. Keep the faith, there is hope yet :o)
Jennifer P.-I think the whole country got a nice day this week. What a nice gift for God to give us all.
Can’t wait for pictures of jumping from the trampoline into the swimming pool!
traci-it’s not cheesy at all. i love when the kids get along like friends. it is a wonderful feeling. don’t you wonder what was on annie’s mind when you took that picture. too cute.
emily loria-I LOVE SUMMER! Counting down the days….
carissa-oh not cheesy… just plain GOOD!
i pray my girls will be good friends… get along too! 🙂 goof balls… argue all the time.
summer shall bring on the best of times! yippee!
hipmomofboyz -I love the look on your daughters face in the second picture….
Lee Ann -My heart was so happy for a couple of days last week. The rain is back, but at least we know there’s hope. Bring on summer! I love that pic of Annie and the ice cream cone.
Kate of All Trades-Not cheesy at all. The sun is so good for us! We’re back to cold and wet but I still have some spring in my step left over from our summery weekend.
traci -Oh no, any mom with kids KNOWS exactly what you mean by the warmth in your heart when you see them all bonding and loving each other!!! My kids will ask around my birthday, mothers day, etc what I want and I mean it with ALL MY HEART when I say…for you guys to get along and love each other.
LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!
Amber - That house is so beautiful it hurts
melissa @ the inspired room - I cannot believe the price of that place! You could NEVER get a house like that in ANY CONDITION for that price in Portland Oregon. That is a real deal.

Jenny Pocknall - I looked at the realtor’s site. It seems awfully cheap for a house that size, even if it is really run down…. Or maybe Sydney is one of the most expensive places to live in the world. If you wanted to get anything half way decent in Sydney, you are looking at $600,000 plus. Maybe I will move over there.

PS: I’ll just take the opp to say I love your blog & your sense of style – gorgeous!
Lanny Stanard - Oh my goodness, I love that house. Just think back in the day,when life was happy for it… I’m betting it was a grand house how sad. I wish I had alot of money so I could buy that house, and make it happy again but,sorry no money…
Lanny
chris - What a house , they don’t even come close now days, could you imagine all that detail work, incredible, thank you for sharing it , I am in awe.
