So I am pleased to say that, after doing a preliminary application for the Samuel Rue House to be accepted into the NJ Historic Preservation Office, I have received a reply!  Okay, nothing earth shattering yet. But they want additional information. It was so neat to see the "Samuel Rue House" menitoned in their official letter. I will have to scan it to show it to you all!

We also had our first official BBQ yesterday, a crowd of about 40-50 people, large amount of food and drink, a good time had by all, house tours given upon request.

Some pictures:

Servants quarters all gussied up for the party:






View of the dining area. Notice we have layed egg sized pebbles from the patio brick to the windows.



We have completed our greenhouse project, in fact, we went out before to buy even more plants than are pictured... what a difference from when we started this project (see below)





Ugh!!!



Here is a shot of everyone enjoying themselves.
