This was the “sitting room” because a doctor lived here before us, and this was also his practice. This room was where patients would wait. This room got a lot of mileage, though, as I spent a lot of time in this room with friends as not to disturb the grownups in the adjacent living room.

For many years this was the only downstairs room with a phone, so any phone time took place right here. We used to separate the cats from our big scary dog, but one of our cats was familiar with him and would jiggle the doorknob to this room to let us know he wanted to come in.

This room also has a great spot for hide and seek, but I’m not telling where it is.
