Rest a while?


A little bench, outside the corner of the fence...
The fence which is seen in the last 2 photos in the preceding entry...

Views, seen through..........

Urns, see through trees...

Window details, seen through a fence...

Entryway, though fence... This house is said to have been rented by {click-->} Lillian Russell when she came to Saratoga Spgs. in the High Season of August, at the turn of the century.

View through the fence, at rear of above house's property... One part of a grape arbor {or perhaps some other vine}, which runs along the side of the back yard and across the back of it {above}. Perhaps in Lillian's day, she strolled there in the late afternoon... Before going in to dress for a dinner party...

For Sale



What I call "The Lipton Tea House" is again for sale. I call it that, because years ago, when we first bought our drug store, my husband used to deliver medicine to an old lady who lived there... And she was the then heir to the Lipton Tea Co.


Many years have come and gone since then. And many owners also. At one time, it was used for a fund raiser for something in town. And different designers decorated different rooms in the house. I went on the tour, of course. It's a way to get inside these beautiful old homes. Tours such as this, and estate sales.

Oh and having friends who sell Real Estate, who arrange to take you through, when a house is for sale.
,-) No, that hasn't happened in a while, though...
