I SOOO WISH I had brought my camera. This would have been AWESOME blog material people!
The couple have this fabulous house in this fabulous historic district with gardens to die for! Their 1920’s home was packed to the rim books and antiques that had me in awe! Not to mention a 1959 Jaguar from England that has a sunroof sitting in the driveway!
Anyway – getting back to this story – the couple decided on a reverse mortgage(for those unfamiliar), basically if your house is paid off – the bank will give you the $$ that it’s appraised at to live off or do whatever you want with. Well, this couple wanted to open a book store and tea room and now they’re doing it.
Can you imagine venturing onto something like that in your 80’s – not to mention the wife still works as an overnight nurse at a hospital on the weekends!
Such a lovely couple who is determined to live life to the fullest– and so awesome that they’re still doing what they love at their age. They said it’s their dream come true to do this. They invited us in for tea and wanted us to stay and chat after we captured their story on tape.
Oh yeh – the best part is – afraid that their 2 Yorkies would annoy us? They locked them in their other Jaguar on the street with the car running for the 2 ½ hours that we were there!
Well, CIAO now. Brad is making Pioneer Woman’s chicken spaghetti tonight! More to come on that…
