❄️It's time for Old Fox to plan his Advent Calendar! Throughout December, I will be writing one frozen fragment each day, blown in by the North Wind. Join my patreon or buy me a chocolate on Ko-fi & write Christmas in the message, a theme or a dedication, & I will add you to my list of 24 windows❄️

Her accent is so familiar; I was thinking it might be someone I know. But it turns out that this graveyard is in Kilkenny. I wonder if she is from the west, from Clare or Limerick.
I wondered if it was an image from East Texas!
Mr. Arthello Beck seems to have been such an interesting artists and this must have been one of his last works, since he died in 2004.
This was terrifically interesting.
Thank you so much. 🎨🎨🎨😄
I find myself wondering what the inspiration for this image was
But it's great

Loved the film Advent Calendar from last year
#OldFoxAdventCalendar - if you want a special tale (theme or cast of characters) on this year's calendar, send Anne a hot chocolate/Ko-fi w/ "Christmas" and the theme in the notes. Soon. There are only 24 windows in an advent calendar.

You can see from the photos that there's significant deferred maintenance, and the asking price is well into the seven figures, so with such a desirable location there's a serious risk of demolition. But Dennis Rodkin reports that the family hopes to find a preservation-minded buyer.

A photo of a slim front door to an International style modernist house clad in various styles of wood, stone, and full height glass, with an arched metal walkway covering the path of approach. Small trimmed hedges line the door.
Inside the home, much of the floorspace is taken up by a huge central atrium with red-brown square tile floors, wood paneling, and several skylights arranged above and to the sides of a raised central roof section. The room is clearly Japanese-inspired, with a sunken lounge area on one side, some fabric screen walls, and several set-aside areas for sun-dappled indoor plants.
A carpeted sitting room at the rear of the house features one wall of full-height windows, with furnishings arranged looking out those windows towards a grassy backyard and Lake Michigan beyond it.
Also along the rear of the house with windows and a door leading to the backyard, there's an office that may have possibly once been a library or bedroom, with the red-brown tile floors from the atrium and an elaborate midcentury built-in system of open wooden bookshelves and drawers.
The Dr. Robert Hohf House, a particularly notable Keck & Keck commission on Lake Michigan that was Kenilworth's first modernist home upon completion in 1957, is for sale after nearly 70 years in the hands of the original family. www.redfin.com/IL/Kenilwort...

☕️ If you like my stories, then why not support my daily writing and buy me a nice hot chocolate over on Kofi. It's very, very helpful at the moment, as I can't work as much as I would like because of my health. ko-fi.com/annelouiseav...
