The beauty of ranch homes
Do you keep a basket on the stairs, filled with everything that needs to go upstairs, hoping a fairy will come along and whisk everything to the second floor? Do you flop down on the bed for a quick nap after a long day, only to have the doorbell ring downstairs the second your head hits the pillow?
Oh, the hassle of stairs and the beauty of ranch homes.
