seven gables

After our road trip to New England I am awash in all the genealogical data that I collected - talk about a big project - and am reading Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables to continue the mood as long as I can.

Yes, I'm in complete denial about Tuesday.

I am really enjoying Hawthorne's complicated prose, which is really making me take my time in the reading of it. The atmosphere is starting to creep...

Now if only I could find a copy of the Vincent Price movie, the mood would be complete.

p.s. I bought a cross-stitch kit of the house, but that's a really long-term project...
