House was well planned

Design of home was well planned for that era. Thick, stone walls keep it cool in summer, warm in winter. Especially enjoyed the stone, kitchen sink which drained outside. The basement plan for the storage of food, both from the garden and for the cured meat. The cottage garden located out the back door made it easy for the cook to bring in herbs, salad items, etc. When my grandchildren are a few years older, I hope to take them to see Schifferstadt.
