Renovating an old house by a musical couple who want to live there the rest of their lives.
2015 in review
We’ve invited friends over this morning from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. for coffee and popovers. We’re planning on a very relaxed time.
I livened up the flower color on the dining room table from Christmas pink to variegated oranges and yellows.
In the mean time the WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for Let’s Face the Music.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 45,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 17 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Welcome to The Glade, where the second generation of renovations has just begun and the mania about our home, music and other passions fill our days and nights.
We’re Charlie and Jo in the music world; Mary Jo and Charles to family; and JoJo and Charlie to each other. We are renovating a midcentury house in a Victorian historic district where we want to live there the rest of our lives. It's a 1946 house located in Maryland. We were married in this house.
Thus far (pre-blog) we refinished cabinets, added a window seat (still working on the cushion), rearranged a wall in the guest house due to sink/vanity replacement, planted a vegetable garden, and other quick and not-so-quick fixes. So this latest zeal for construction is the result of my having lived here since 1997 and feeling a need to ready the house for the next chapter and beyond.

Happy new year, dear friend! I hope you are enjoying your brunch.
Oh, Jessica, missing your posts. Charlie made 10 dozen popovers and everybody ate and laughed, even sand and danced. Fun. Jo
Happy New Year to you and Charlie. I so enjoy reading about your renovation journey both inside and outside.
Barbara, you have left so many nice comments. Thanks for reading and Happy New Year to you, too. Jo
Happy New Year, Jo and Charlie! Wish I could drop by for your brunch, but I would NOT have been there at 7:00!! 🙂
First person was here around 8:30. If you’re ever in the Baltimore/Washington area we’ll plan something fun. Jo
Happy New Year, Jo!
Have a sweet year, Magali. Jo
