That one is on the second story, where one could sleep unobserved by passersby.<br /><br />One of my friends bought a home built in the 1920s in Atlanta that had a sleeping porch and that was the first time I had heard of that, too.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-61450630997041877172012-04-07T17:20:36.057-04:002012-04-07T17:20:36.057-04:00Lovely home! what is a 'sleeping porch' ex...Lovely home! what is a 'sleeping porch' exactly?<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />I think that I 'want one.'Louvregirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052153326685432260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-54835082760155948912012-04-07T15:56:27.158-04:002012-04-07T15:56:27.158-04:00happygirl -

I heard that someone is making a documentary about it that I hope I get to see. I used to ride the commuter train into the city when I was going to my urban university a few years ago to finish up school - and I used to love spotting it from the rails.<br /><br />Happy Easter - I hope you have the weekend off, Snaggle.<br /><br />Granny Annie -<br /><br />Hah! Ron cracks me up. Dad was just looking for a better way to eat. He said that while the rest were eating powdered eggs for breakfast, he was having the same steak breakfast the officers were having. Quite resourceful, I say.<br /><br />We have an indentification - it's a zester, but I'm thinking you could use it for removing corn from a cob. <br /><br />I'm wondering if the G is for her first name, since her last name was Humphries. Her maiden name would be Combs (she inherited the house.) I love it, too - especially the thought of that sleeping porch.<br /><br />I'm glad they added that follow-up feature back, too. I like that you come back and read comments.<br /><br />Happy Saturday, GA - no post tomorrow - I'll be back on Sunday.<br /><br />G -<br /><br />I also celebrate that you came by, G.

He said it was so eerie - all the fixings had already been laid out. He was contemplating the industrial sized can of chili powder when someone stuck his head in the door and said, "Make it spicy. Those other guys never made it spicy enough." So dad poured the whole thing in - and you can just imagine all the running for more water. :)<br /><br />When we were growing up he would make omelets for us, that kind of thing. But he came into his own with cooking later in life. Hence having a zester. You are exactly right! I Googled zester and that's what it is. I have been using a microplainer for that, so this looks easier. Thank you!<br /><br />The Elephant's Child -<br /><br />That's it! I'm excited to know.<br /><br />And thank you - you are Good, Gentle and Gorgeous yourself. I'm so glad we are blog friends now.<br /><br />Hilary -<br /><br />It's a zester - I'm excited to know.<br /><br />I plan to post more about Milledgeville on the M post. It is a beautiful area. That home also was the first pastorium of the church my mom and dad belonged to - First Baptist - just around the corner. Later pastors (from the 1960s on) opted to used a ranch style house in a modern neighborhood. Probably easier to heat. I'm glad Mrs. Combs daughter has kept this one so beautiful.<br /><br />Happy Easter!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-73113744400631479232012-04-07T08:22:28.017-04:002012-04-07T08:22:28.017-04:00That little gadget looks like could be used to scr...That little gadget looks like could be used to scratch the zest off a lemon or an orange.
