How to warm up the morning
Quitaque’s population is less than 400, so it’s hard to imagine the town ever had need of a boarding house. But we found a two story building that seemed to have once been one. The front of the place was brick with arch-topped windows that still had organdy curtains hanging. The side was less fancy, with window air conditioners instead of curtains. But the back porch was the best.
I think “Warm Morning” is an excellent name for a heater – the name alone would make you feel better about the day.
(My favorite thing, after the heater, is that duplex outlet by the step.)
