I told y’all I’d go into the men’s room and take a picture of the wall the next time I went to lunch at Con Huevos. So that happened.
The ladies’ has Frida Kahlo on it, so I was thinking the men’s would have Diego Rivera, but no. I guess this makes sense, since it’s the ladies who carry the eggs. Also: baby changing station in the men’s room FTW.
We went to the house of my husband’s middle brother and his wife, which is in a neighborhood with many Storybook Style houses. Here are a few I snapped while Charlie drove, and one taken from our destination’s porch.
Thursday doors is the brainchild of Norm Frampton, photographer extraordinaire. Visit his site, enjoy his wonderful photographs, follow his directions, and enter a world of doors.

March 6, 2020 at 9:52amThanks for going to such lengths to give us a peek inside. Inquiring minds, and all that. Great doors. I love that house style.
