When I first saw Hughes House, the 1898 home (now a museum) built by the Pacific Ocean near Port Orford, OR, I thought, "This is a place to grow up in, be a child in, run about and play in!"
And it is good to know that, at one time and for awhile, there was a family in this house, there were children, and they did run and play through this magical place.
Got a text this afternoon summoning me to a gathering of the Cousins for Memorial Day at our lake (Ely Lake). I, of course, neglected to take photos (as almost always). But it was wonderful to see everyone, and I had a great time. It's neat how most of us who grew up together there during our summers of the 1960s/1970s (a large clan) have gathered again as permanent residents. And for reference, here's a photo of Ely Lake. 😀

Until high school, Kate Feiffer believed that her mother Judy's novel, "A Hot Property," was about real estate. Then a boyfriend plucked the book from the shelves, started reading passages aloud, and revealed it was a piece of 1970s erotica. From then until just a few years ago, Kate considered "A Hot Property" to be her literary Waterloo — the book she'd hoped to conquer but never been able to. But after her mother's death, she picked up the novel and — between bouts of screaming and cringing — found something more thoughtful and reflective than she was expecting. Here's what she wrote for LitHub.
Kinda fodder. But in my family suites are more typical. Our houses are massive. Ours really isn't because it's only a 3 bedroom. But everyone gets TWO rooms for themselves. A bedroom and a workspace. We place a HUGE value on free creativity. Right now I'm shitting in high cotton because I have my lab, bedroom AND private bathroom which is the ideal. And it's all separate. My nephew has a playroom and bedroom. Nobody comes into your suite. #family#news#kids https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2024/05/children-home-solo-bedroom/678354/
