Last week, I was happy to return to (brisk) walking the developed trails that follow the outskirts of our prairie city.
As I was walking along one of these trails, I looked up to the side and saw this big new build. I can’t begin to guess the square footage of this three and a half story house that looks over a trail by the river.
I couldn’t help thinking, “I wonder if they’re installing an elevator.”
Is my age showing?
Wow, it looks like a blot on the landscape. Maybe it is a guest house or hotel? I can’t imagine having a house with SO many steps. Yep they need an elevator

At least there are the cute personal lifts that follow the stairway. Back in 1980, my father and me built our fourth beach house in Port Aransas, Texas. It was a three-and-a-half-story job with nothing but stairs to the heavens. I told him at that time that this is not the house for older people, or even some younger ones. After suffering through the ups and downs for over 20 years, my sister and I sold the place. Even in our mid-40s, we couldn’t negotiate the maze to every room. Multi-storied homes are for young folks; single-story, ground-level homes are for us old folks. We are visiting Colorado Springs and Momo’s daughter’s house, in a 3-story house with lots of stairs. Between the 8600 altitude and the stairs, it’s killing us. Nice looking home.
You’re 100% right on the stairs issue, Phil! Thanks for stopping by to read and comment!
