The strap on my N95 mask --- the one I wore for the first time going to Crossroads Village --- broke on Thursday. I was at the farmer's market, getting our vegetables and candies, and that was annoying. Between the other strap and wrapping my neck gaiter around it the thing stayed on securely enough. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger's mask, independently, broke while she was in class on Wednesday. Both in the same spot, where the rubber strap connects to the mask itself.
So we searched for the bag of, originally, four N95 masks that her father had given us a year or so ago. This turned out to be in the dining room, next to the bookshelf. I had cause to make an extra trip into a food store, started putting it on, and the strap broke in the same way and in the same spot.
bunnyhugger has not yet tried on her remaining mask.
Not much to talk about right now, so, have even more pictures of the Turner-Dodge House. Well, I want to talk about a bridge being taken down, but that's not much of a story, so I'll save it for Monday. Now watch as everything happens and I can't get back to it.
Peacock-themed endtable in the living room.
More of the living room, with the palm tree that one of the volunteers keeps in his yard during the growing season and is allowed to move into the house for the winter months.
The family piano, with notes about its history. The dark-wood piano was got painted in the 1940s, and then was stripped and shellacked during a restoration in the 80s. The jar has a bunch of shellac in it.
Wedding music that was put on a table not the piano. The biography in the background discusses Angeline Dodge (1812 - 1890) who was mentioned as among the first women in the United States to earn a college education.

And back out of the living room. What might be up these stairs? We'll just see ...
