Ottokar's wife got this shot at Thanksgiving. That's Old Father Dreadnought at center, Ottokar right behind him, me to his right in the photo and my wife with dark curly hair next to me. My (decidedly not evil) step Mom extreme right. To far left my daughter, then sisters two kids, sister and her husband

Its a great old house. Its an 1818 cobblestone farm house that got badly run down. My parents bought it in the 1980's dirt cheap, and my late mother restored it to 19th century looks, researching wallpaper patterns and paint colors used in the early 19th Century and such, as well as grabbing any suitable antiques she could get. My Dad actually built that clock.
After my Mom died my brother bought the place from dad, and his wife may be even better at that whole early American decorating thing than Mom was. It also sits on a hill and has one of the better views you'll ever find. This is from the back of the House - Western NY at its best
