I admit it: I totally peer into other people’s windows. I mean, I’m no peeping tom, but if your curtains are open, I’m going to glance in as I amble past your house. You see lots of cool things that way, from window decorations to collections to fun room set-ups.<\/p>\n

This window is located in a row house up the street from the Burrow:<\/p>\n

\"Artists<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

That’s the Artists Inn Residence<\/a>, whose website I suggest visiting. It’s the sort of place I’d love to stay if I were rich and needed to stay mere blocks away from where I lived.<\/p>\n

If you were the sort of person who hurries past, never glancing inside, you would totally miss the gift the owners have given their guests (and passersby):<\/p>\n

\"Riser<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

That’s from Homer’s Odyssey<\/em> and is an invitation from Telemachus (Odysseus and Penelope’s son) to Athena, the goddess of wisdom:<\/p>\n

\n“… But come now, stay with me, eager though you are for your journey,
\nso that you may first bathe and take your ease and, well rested
\nand happy in your heart, then go back to your ship with a present,
\nsomething prized, altogether fine, which will be your keepsake
\nfrom me, what loving guests and hosts bestow on each other.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
