Stairs, stairs and more stairs
This week marks two years since Jim and I bought the house we plan to grow old in. We love, love, love the place -- and did so from the very first moment we walked through the doors.
But when deciding to live here the rest of our days, we didn't consider how the many stairs throughout the house would affect those days. We didn't take fully into account how old age and our alphabet soup of health issues (MS for me, PN for Jim) may come into play when climbing the stairs.
And there are lots of stairs!
Stairs up to the bedrooms ...
Stairs from the family room to the kitchen ...
Stairs from the patio to the deck ...
Stairs from the backyard to the side yard ...
Stairs, stairs and more stairs! And that doesn't even include the two stairs here and the one stair there, throughout the whole darn house. There's nowhere you can go without having to climb a stair ... or two ... or ten.
BUT ... I've come up with a solution to make the stairs a little less challenging and a lot more fun. I'm going to do just what these guys have done! Take a look:
Can you just imagine the fun Bubby -- and Jim and I! -- will have bumping down all our keyboard-covered stairs on our butts!

Love today's blog! It's like an actual visit to your wonderful home...and, yes, I can SEE and hear all you goofy kids butt-bumping down musical stairs!
I would totally come to your house at least once a week just to play on the stairs.
We'd have to do chopsticks, certainly.
Awesome. I also think it's funny that it comes from VW.
Love the UTube! We are 58 and bought a one story house 3 years ago. Love it!
Your stairs are very beautiful.
LOL! What a great idea! Love it!
(And what beautiful stairs you have in your house...gorgeous!)
I remember our EGR Christmas photo on your stairs! They are just beautiful I hope they make lots of future great memories.
