Thank you so much for this third place here in the #monomad selection, dear @monochromes team!... That's Francisco. He's a retired soldier who became a deacon and now takes communion (Catholic rite) to the homes of elderly people, including my mother (80 years old). But the curious thing is that Francisco is already 86 and walks several kilometers daily fulfilling his duty. He says that his years as a soldier, his training specifically, have given him excellent health, and perhaps that's true... The door behind Francisco is one of the original entrances to my house (which has belonged to our family for about 125 years). But Francisco usually enters through the newer door on the right, which leads directly to my mother's garden... Everything here has a story, wow! Thank you for being here and allowing me to share!

Oh my goodness.. 125 years?😮
I can only imagine the work and dedication needed to maintain it during all that time.
That's something not many people can brag about!

Oh yes, it's 125 years old, and the land has belonged to my ancestors since the town's founding (more than 280 years ago). I suppose that's why I feel so connected to this place... It's a lovely little house, but it's difficult to maintain. Every year there are new leaks, sometimes the walls, the paint, even the floors, and the price of materials is high here. But I inherited this house from my maternal grandmother precisely because she knew I loved it the way it is and would keep it as original as possible, and that's what my wife and I have done so far... Fortunately, our youngest daughter also likes this type of construction, and perhaps she'll be the one to inherit it... Here's a post I made in 2023 about my house, in case you want to see it! And as always, thank you so much for being here on #Hive, dear @monochromes team!

I was just having a look at that other post.
You have a beautiful place there, and it really shows how much you love and care for it.
I hope your daughter will be up to maintain the family legacy.
The house surely deserves it.
