I normally post my doors on Thursday, but this week Cee and I brought our challenges together so we could both offer folks a chance to share some doors. My challenge was doors, as it always is. Cee’s topic is,

“Things People Live In.”

If you’re sliding into Cee’s challenge as I am, Thursday Doors is still accepting doors for this week. Feel free to use the link above and add your doors over there, too.

While I normally feature doors I’ve gathered on recent trips or while driving around the area, today, I’m reaching into the archive. But, I’m going far back – back to the beginning of Thursday Doors, when Norm Frampton was running the challenge.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.

  4. Lovely doors, Dan. I’ve been to Nixon Library several times for tours, music performances, as well as attending concerts. Somehow I overlooked this reconstructed house.

    I’m trying to get back to blogging. Let me see what I can do!

    1. You’ve had a very busy winter, Miriam. It’s good to see you again. My favorite exhibit in that library was the room with the statues of world leaders he had met.

      1. My head has been less overwhelmed the last few weeks, Dan.

        That exhibit is impressive. Nixon was courageous to have visited Chairman Mao.

  5. Hi Dan – gosh that fire looks wonderful – no wonder MuMu is enjoying her zizz. The Nixon reconstruction looks delightful – the little chapel looks well maintained too. Interesting selection – cheers Hilary

    1. Thanks Hilary. The cats always enjoy the fires. They lay there and bake. The little chapel is very well maintained. I drive by that often.

    The entryway in the last picture is a real eye catcher. And the little chapel is just plain cute. I really like the double gray doors with the wreaths. Quite a nice collection today. Thanks for digging these out for us.

    1. Digging these out was my pleasure, Ginger. Most of these are from 2015. I tried to skip any that I had used for other topics by Cee, hoping that most would be new (or long time readers would have forgotten ;)

  8. What wonderful doors and places people live! Many here invite opening. I do love the age in many of these. As for baked MuMu, I cannot imagine a cozier picture, and I think those must be some hot doors on the wood-burning stove. Thanks for a good start to the day!

    1. Those doors would get hot, but all the animals would cozy up near the stove and bake. MiMi had the good sense to stay up in her scratching post, but she would stretch out like she’d melted.

  12. Lots of cool doors here, Dan. As far as the buildings are concerned, I love the look (and sound) of Isaac’s. I also liked the Riverside Park boathouse. Looks good…as well as also looking very functional.

    1. Thanks Bruce. Isaac’s was a very cool place. The boathouse is an interesting building. The entire lower level was designed to be flooded (which it is at least once most years).

    1. Thanks John. I like that house, too, but they still haven’t replace those missing clapboards. I’m not sure who owns the house (our town or the State) but I’m guessing it’s not high on either list.

  21. Excellent pics.
    The most peculiar homes I’ve seen are on Zillow Gone Wild. Usually it’s expensive places. But sometimes it’s homes that don’t look real.

    It’s April, so I’m focused on the #AtoZChallenge.
    Proof of Existence, book two in my dark urban fantasy series, is out this month.
    And I’m running a giveaway on my blog.
