Although to be honest, there's a possibility that I did get him from a Happy Meal years ago. ;) That’s my flamingo, Orlando.

Cooper got a flamingo in his meal the other day that looks just like it! :D LOL, I looked at that photo and thought, “Why did Allison put a Happy Meal flamingo on that statue?” Cooper got a flamingo in his meal the other day that looks just like it! :D

But they might work in the general area. Hmm. I like your idea! I might need to make a trip to Gamma and see what some of my options are. Although first I want to repaint the stairwell and the laundry room. But first I need a paint brush with an extendable handle.

I'm not sure why. Surely even in the late 1800s, when this house was built, people didn't want to break their necks getting up and down stairs. Of course, there's no telling how many renovations have been made here over the years, either. This house has served a variety of purposes, both private and commercial.

My sister's in-laws' house in Reppel has the scariest stairs - might as well be ladders. I have to wonder if the stairs are an afterthought when they build their houses.
