Photo Finish Friday - Racing the Rideau

Well, okay, hardly racing, but this picture is a little blurry because the Bag Lady took it from a moving vehicle.
She kinda likes the effect, though.

Have a great weekend.

Photo Finish Friday is the brainchild of Leah over at the Goat's Lunch Pail.

Ottawa Visited

In Ottawa, the Bag Lady stayed with her brother in his fabulous old house. The house was built in 1853, and has undergone many changes in its life. It started out as a single-family dwelling, but was eventually turned into a duplex.

The Bag Lady's brother has done many interesting things to it, and it is wonderfully decorated, with all manner of interesting and quirky things.

There's a little room just beyond the back entrance where he spends a good deal of time.....

And a beautiful built-in cupboard holding glass of all description:

Through the dining room to the living area....



And on to the front entrance hall:

Up the stairs to the second floor


past the library:



You come to the stairs to the third floor, where the guest room is located.


As you climb the stairs to the guest room, you pass the "memory cupboard":


Until you reach the cozy guest suite.


The memory cupboard contains, along with many other things, a photo of the Bag Lady's parents...... (her camera battery was dying, so the photo is blurry. Sigh.)




(Blogger liked the pictures so well, it uploaded 4 or 5 copies of each one, so the Bag Lady has spent a lot of time trying to fix this post!)
