Gingerbread in Hopkinsville



This old house has beautiful, fancy trim. It's in Hopkinsville near the hospital. The balcony is the focal point of the house, and its arch is echoed in some of the other details. In its day, it was a very attractive home, though it needs some upkeep now. 

It would be interesting to go inside. I imagine it having a large stairway with a heavy ornate banister, arched transoms over the doorways, detailed wood mouldings, built in cupboards and bookcases, and more -- but I'll probably never know for sure.

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
