Stairs

Count Your Blessings - Days 3, 4 & 5

Stairs is what I'm doing these days. We bought an antique home, built in 1898, that we call "The Stairmaster." I've lost ten pounds just going up and down all the stairs.

Front stairs into the house.

Stairs from the garage and outside to the back hall and kitchen.

Formal staircase from entry hall to second floor.

Second leg of main staircase from entry hall to second floor.

Top of second leg, with second landing, main staircase from entry hall to second floor.

Last leg of main staircase as it reaches the second floor.

Staircase to third floor attic, looking up I can't quite get it all in.

Looking down the stairs from the third floor attic.

And let's not forget the steep stairs to the grotty, unfinished basement where the laundry resides.

So with no other effort than "taking the stairs" day after day, the excess weight is coming off. I'd call that a blessing!

P.S. All that yucky carpet will soon be ripped up and gone. I left it on until we got all the furniture in and on the correct floor to avoid marring (any more than whatever is underneath is) the stairs.
