Well, in November, Dean & I went to Edith Wharton's homestead called The Mount. It was amazing. The house was restored to is original grandeur. The restoraton company brought in a local artist to fix all the moldings. He took a portion of the molding and recreated it. Also, Edith Wharton left behind an old fashion 3-D photo viewer. It was pretty neat. In one of the pictures, you will notice the molding around the door. These moldings are just 2 examples of the molding that was reconstructed. Also, if you look closely in the photo Dean in the library, you will notice some more molding that was reconstructed.
Dean loved he skullery the best. That's where they cleaned the animals from their bones, maybe even skin it. We walked on the grounds - amazing view.
