Whose home was looking rather sad
It sagged where it shouldn't
Lift spirits? It wouldn't!
It was making her feel really, well, kind of bad...
Color and life it was most certainly lacking
So she set out to do a bit of spackling
"A bit" turned into "A Freaking LOT!"
Months passed by, nerves were shot
She had zero free time for internet yakking...
Spackle and dust became her life
Each new project filled with strife
Old houses, well, they take a lot of care
{Weary remodelers, beware!}
Project stresses can run especially rife!
Plaster walls come crumbling down
and leave owners with big frowns
Hardwood floors look lovely, so true
but bring on refinishing blues
Spackling, sanding, painting, more sanding... Yikes! Zounds!
But words are Madly's great love
Storytelling fits her like a glove
She's ready to put down her tools
To get back to ghosts and ghouls
And other mysteries, as below and above...

Meanwhile...
If you know of anyone looking for a castle...
A charmer in the heart of the great Midwest...
In an Indiana town that is as Mayberry as, well, Mayberry...
A town with tree-lined streets...
And ice cream socials and pancake breakfasts at the local fire station...
And a drive-in restaurant that still puts on sock hops some Saturday nights...
And where Friday night varsity games draw numbers that give most local churches attendance envy...
Let me know...
Because Castle Alt is going up for sale! Woot!
