Someone’s in the kitchen

Monday, April 7, 2008

Our house is upside down. It’s because of the hill, and the way the streets are laid out here. We’re on the downhill side of the street, so you walk into the house on the top floor where the living room, dining room, family room, and kitchen are. The bedrooms are downstairs, and my office, […]
