Doing my due diligence, snappity-snapping doors as Sara drives.
Got a red one! Ain’t that a beaut?

Here’s another Storybook Style-ish one.

Can you guess what my favorite architectural style is?

Yeah, the kind with the catslide roof.
I love this one, too. Almost missed the sucker. Cut the top of his head off.

If I say that a stone vestibule outside the house looks like a good place for bad guys to lurk, will you think I watch too much crime drama? Yeah, that’s what I thought, too.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Who — or what — is lurking in that stone vestibule?

Catslide – hadn’t heard that one. I like it.

April 15, 2022 at 9:16amAh, but my fear would be coming IN. I suppose today’s technology could connect one’s phone to a camera mounted to see the interior of the vestibule, so you could know if there was a lurker before approaching from the outside.

I like the style you like.
