Dreams, Chapter 18

If you haven’t read this series before, you might want to start on Chapter 1, or check out the Dreams Masterlist! Here’s the series description:

When Dean dies for good leaving Sam and his girlfriend (the reader) behind, they must figure out how to carry on without him. Alone, reeling, and unsure what to do next, trying to honor Dean’s memory and follow their hearts gets even more complicated when their nightmares become dreams that feel a little too real.

Title: Dreams, Chapter 18

Pairing: (past) Dean Winchester x Reader, (eventual) Sam Winchester x Reader

Word Count: 4326

Summary: Dean gets a better sense of what Sam and the reader’s new life is like.

Warnings: FLUFF, swearing

Barbie opens the door with an honest to god plate of pigs in a blanket as though she just had them going and you have to remind yourself you’re in a dream. “What a nice surprise! Come in, come in. And who’s this?” she asks, hugging Sam with one arm while holding onto the plate and offering for you to take one. It’s as buttery and salty as you ever could’ve hoped.

“This is, uh, this is my brother Dean.”

“Well hello, Dean! What a handsome pair you two are.” She offers the plate to the brothers. Dean grabs two with a pincher, tossing both in his mouth. Sam politely takes one as Barbie yells over her shoulder. “Mike, we have company!” She motions for you three to follow her into the house and Sam has to practically clothesline his brother to get him to take his shoes off before he trails blindly after the plate full of sausage.

Mike stands up from one of those leather armchairs, folding back the magazine he’s reading to greet Sam with a bear hug. “This is my brother Dean,” Sam offers as Mike hugs you with decidedly gentler back pats than he had for Sam. Dean holds his hand out as if to shake but Mike curves his big paws around Dean’s shoulders and pulls him in for a hug with enough force that Dean almost falls into him.

“You didn’t say anything about a brother!” he bellows to Sam over Dean’s shoulder.

Sam and you both freeze, and you can only speak for yourself but you suspect Sam is also worried Dean will be upset to hear that. Instead, finally released from Mike’s binding embrace, Dean rocks back to holding up his own weight with a big smile. “Crazy private, these two, right? You’d think they were in the witness protection program.” For another second you’re worried about how you’ll do damage control, how you’ll talk to them about Dean after this, and then you remember this isn’t actually Mike and Barbie, they won’t actually remember anything.

Mike leans into Dean conspiratorially. “You can say that again. Now, what can I get you three to drink?”

“Whatever you’re having works for me, sir,” Dean answers, charming as ever with his most clean-cut smile.

“You’re going to regret saying that,” Mike laughs, heading over to the kitchen where Barbie is fiddling with something in the oven. He fills a row of pint glasses with dark beer out of a growler you know is the extremely strong beer he brews himself and hands one to his wife with a kiss on her cheek, motions for you and the Winchesters to each take one. “To a pleasant surprise and finding out there’s another man in the world like Sam.”

“I think you mean another man like me,” Dean says cheerfully as you all clink your glasses together.

“So you’re older?” Barbie asks, handing Sam a stack of plates to go make the table with.

“Four years, yeah. It was easier to tell when I had a foot on him.” Dean reaches up to ruffle his baby brother’s hair, and Sam generously waits a half-second before swatting his hand away with a sheepish flush.

“A foot? Really? I wouldn’t have thought anyone would ever have had a foot on this behemoth,” Mike laughs, catching Sam with a jokey punch to his bicep when he comes back for silverware.

“Oh, yeah. Sam was a little squirt until he was like 17.” Dean continues.

“How’s Luke’s basketball team doing?” Sam asks, color rising in his cheeks and desperate to have the focus shifted off of himself.

Barbie grants his wish with a knowing smile. “Going to the playoffs! He’s very excited.” She hands Sam a huge bowl of salad to carry to the table and takes out a hot casserole dish from the oven.

“They do playoffs for middle school?” you ask, about to trail into the dining room after Barbie with Sam and Mike like a chain of ducklings. Dean stops you with a hand on your arm.

“It’s going to make it weird if you’re not yourself with him,” he mutters, low so the Kaisers and Sam won’t hear. “I’m okay, kid, I promise. This is…awesome, but I know you’re holding back. You don’t have to.”

“What’re you talking about?”

“You touched Sam more when I was topside and we were together. You’d think he has leprosy the way you’re dodging him now.”

“Dean, we’re always going to be togeth—”

He rolls his eyes in frustration. “Okay, fine, yeah, we’re together now. But you know what I mean.”

You bite your lip. “I thought they’re just my mind’s projections, who cares if they think it’s weird.”

“Babe.” He holds firm, his gaze steady.

“Jesus, Dean, it is weird, okay? The whole thing is bizarre!” Your whisper has turned into a bit of a hiss and he glances to the dining room to make sure you haven’t caught anyone’s attention.

He wraps his fingers around your hand and swipes an arc into it, looking down as he does. “I know it is, I’m sorry. Can you try, just a little bit? The whole thing is only going to get less awkward if we keep at it.”

“Fine, yeah. I’ll try.”

Dean holds your eyes for a moment, not seeming to buy it, before staring back at his feet. “For you it’s a dream but this—this is the closest I’m going to get; to being part of your lives. I just—I just kinda want it to be as close as it can be, you know? If you’re acting different then it’s not really—”

“Understood.” You swallow hard against the lump forming in your throat, willing it to dissolve, not about to keep feeling sorry for yourself when he’s clearly putting so much aside to be present.

Too quickly for you to react Dean lifts your hand to his lips, and the warmth of the kiss on your skin sends a shudder through you. He follows you into the dining room, where Sam and the Kaisers are about to sit down. You grab the seat next to Sam, leaving the head of the table opposite Barbie for Dean as the new guest.

“You okay?” Sam asks, quietly enough you’re sure you’re the only one who can hear it.

You squeeze his thigh reassuringly under the table. “Yeah, definitely.”

Dean catches your eyes to give you a meaningful look that makes you swallow again, and before you can think about it you’re sliding your hand around Sam’s neck, looping him down to kiss him on the cheek. Sam’s cheeks flush pink as the corner of his mouth tries to tug into a smile and it’s so impossibly cute that you’re not faking your subsequent smile for Dean’s sake.

Both Barbie and Dean smirk thoughtfully at the two of you before pretending to be engrossed in the salad she’s passing to him. “So, Dean! We heard your families were friends before these two got together; was it one of those things that you always knew was going to happen?”

Sam chokes on a sip of beer, trying his best to cough with his mouth closed to keep the sputtering to a minimum. You think you’re probably the only one who catches the flair of joyful ribbing behind Dean’s eyes as he pretends to be concerned.

“Aw, I remember my first drink. All good over there, Sammy?”

His little brother strains to stop, his voice sounding as rough and cracked as if he’d spent 50 days breathing sand. “Yep. Wrong pipe, sorry.” He gives a closed-mouth smile of reassurance to his hosts that makes him look like a kid.

Dean turns to Barbie, smile smooth and charming as anything. “You know, it’s funny you ask that. When we were younger, I was the one with the crush on her.”

You probably should’ve guessed Dean would pull some kind of jokey shit like this but you’re still thankful that the Winchesters aren’t sitting close enough to kick each other’s legs under the table. As it is, you give a grin you hope seems warm and not tense.

Mike finishes chewing a huge bite and nudges Dean’s arm with his elbow playfully. “I hope there’s no jealousy there.”

“Ah, you know how it is. You grow up, things happen.” And if that isn’t the damn understatement of the century. “Couldn’t ask for a better girl to take care of my baby bro.”

“Well I think that’s pretty damn sweet. Barb’s sister hated me until I drove to Wausau on Thanksgiving Day to change a blown-out tire for her. We’d already been married six years!”

Barbie rolls her eyes across the table at Sam, mouthing “not true,” with an easy smile.

“I think that’s worth a drink,” Mike emphasizes, raising his beer. “To the best girl for—what’d you call him? Somehow I can’t imagine He-Man over here ever being a ‘Sammy.’”

You raise your own drink with everyone else and Dean catches your eye with an iridescent twinkle as he repeats the toast. “To the best girl.”

The rest of dinner is the exact emotional and literal comfort food you always get from the Kaisers, a respite from the world in the best way. As you had suspected he would, Dean gets along perfectly with them, falling into a good-natured ribbing of Sam borne of admiration with Mike and charming Barbie within an inch of her life. Dean tells stories about Sam as a little kid that you know are really far more embarrassing than the version he shares, and hearing Dean edit to idealize Sam for the Kaisers even as an eight year old makes you want to melt into the floor.

You pretend to be tired too early in the evening, feeling selfish and wanting the boys all for yourself. Being handed a Tupperware of leftovers reminds you this isn’t real; the futility of carrying them a flash in the evening that you’ve otherwise forgotten won’t last.

Standing in the doorway, Sam’s already on the porch when Barbie stops Dean as he’s following you out. Quietly, trying for privacy, she says to him, “Honey, I am so glad we got to meet you. We worry about these two being all by themselves, but knowing they’ve got you looking out for them is going to help me sleep a little more soundly tonight.”

Dean covers her hand where she has his arm and looks at her with soft doe eyes. “You have no idea how much I could say the same to you.”

They hug for a beat longer than necessary and then Dean’s right at your side, trailing after Sam’s long legs down the road to your cabin.

It’s hard not to think it’s purposeful, Sam going ahead to let you walk with Dean on the way back. Dean flicks a side of his jacket away from his body and you slide in there like you always did, warmed by the pre-contained heat coming off of him and giggling when he kisses the top of your head. “Man, I guess some things never change,” he murmurs, breath spilling over your hair. “You even move to the damn arctic and still don’t get any warmer coats.”

He’s feeding you the intro to an old script but you don’t have the heart to tease back, just snuggling up to him and walking to the cabin together feeling the familiar way the muscles in Dean’s side move against you as he does. Sam doesn’t even look back and it’s so unlike him not to check that you’re there that then you know definitively he’s giving you a moment together. “I miss you, baby.”

“Kid, I’m right here.”

You peer up at him. “Don’t be a dick.”

He glances down at you bundled against him. “I miss you too. But I see you guys all the time; it’s like nothing changed.”

The reflex to laugh bitterly doesn’t fit the moment but you can’t stop it. “Right. My mistake.”

His jaw muscles tighten to a ball for a whisper of a beat. “I need you to fucking work with me here, babe. I know this is not ideal but it’s so much more than anyone else gets and I gotta be honest, you’re being kind of a bitch about it.” You kick your eyebrows up on your forehead, both disbelieving and challenging. Dean realizes the mistake borne of his frustration immediately. “Not a bitch, that’s not what I mean, sorry. A baby. You’re being a baby.”

“A baby?”

He stops you both. Sam’s already about halfway up the driveway. “Listen, I know that you’re—I don’t know, mad. At me for not being here, the way things happened, whatever. But it’s done. It’s over. No one else in the fucking world gets this, gets to have it both ways, visit like I’m just a town away. You get to see me, I get to see you guys, pretty much whenever we want.”

A few tears start collecting in the wells of your eyelids, indignance or grief or both. You try to blink them back but when one falls, lightning fast and stupid like Wil E. Coyote running out over the edge of a cliff, Dean brushes it away with a swipe of his thumb. “I get it. I miss you too, all the fucking time. I miss the way things could’ve been; I miss shit I didn’t even have, you know? I miss this fucking cabin, believe it or not—I—we all could’ve lived in a cabin like this together. We—maybe we could have had kids or something, couple of little girls to braid Uncle Sammy’s hair, the fuck do I know? But at some point I had to accept what I do have, and you do too.”

You look over his shoulder, not wanting to meet Dean’s eyes or the truth that’s there. He’s right, but that doesn’t make the bottomless pit of greed for more of him go away. “Sam’s going to be waiting for us.”

“Don’t deflect. It doesn’t have to be this second, but you have to get good with this. Today—tonight, whatever—was pretty damn near perfect and you’re upset because you want something that doesn’t exist.” He flicks his gaze up the driveway to confirm it’s empty; Sam’s already inside. His jaw is still tight but his eyes are tender and fuzzy, the same way he looks when he’s tired. When they lock onto yours, you can feel them sear straight into you, heating you up slow like an Easy Bake oven. “But right now you’re going to kiss me like it’s the first time. Then we’re going to head in, and you’re going to act like I know you’ve been with Sammy, sappy freaks that you both are, I’m going to have a few drinks with my brother, and we’ll tell the same stupid stories you’ve heard a hundred times.”

That’s finally enough to make you chuckle and you venture an arm out of the protective embrace he has on you to take his chin in your hand, thumb on that perfect indent as you catch Dean’s lips with yours. It’s soft and delicate, a thank you and a reminder and a memory at once. His lashes catch a shadow when he opens his eyes, and you hold them for a long second. “I thought you said like our first kiss—you didn’t even try to jam your tongue down my throat.”

Dean rolls his eyes through a smile and a part of your mind flares with victory knowing you’ve made it past the bramble patch of emotion. “I was like twenty, can’t blame a guy for trying. You couldn’t have been that mad; you still let me get under your shirt the next day.”

You laugh hard, letting it ring out along the driveway as you tug Dean to the house with your fingers interlinked in his.

Sam is pouring a few fingers of bourbon into three little juice glasses when you walk in, and you grab one right off the counter without breaking your stride, tossing it back and offering it to Sam. “Hit me.”

He smirks and obliges as you slide a hand to his lower back. There’s a half beat of hesitation before he leans back that inch or two into your palm like he always does, but what’s more important in that moment is that he still does, and without flushing. Sam and Dean both grab their glasses and you don’t remember the last time you’ve done this many toasts in a night that weren’t at the bar following a Packers win.

“To you two morons finally figuring this shit out,” Dean says, raising his glass.

“Yeah, whatever,” Sam grins. For a beat you can see in his eyes the unbridled admiration he has for his brother, the complete devotion and deep grain of grief he’ll never be free of even if he can see Dean like this every day for the rest of forever. You wonder if you had truly realized the way it flared in his eyes before everything. All three of you sip at your whiskeys together, and you have to fight to keep your mouth closed through a petite yawn.

Sam tucks a stray piece of hair behind your ear and lets you lean into the wall of his body, wrap your hand around to his side. His hand moves to envelop your shoulder, thumb swiping absentmindedly back and forth. It’s nothing, genuinely less physical affection than you used to show Sam most of the time when you and Dean were two halves of a living couple like he’d pointed out to you earlier, but the most important thing is that it feels okay. More than anything it feels like being at the bar, the ‘aren’t they so cute’ on Dean’s face the same one that you get at work only made different by how much you wish you were somehow able to tuck up under Dean’s arm at the same time.

A couple drinks and a while later you’re sprawled on the couch, head laid back on the armrest. One foot is tucked under Sam’s thigh where he sits next to you and one rests on top of his lap, a large, warm palm gently wrapped around your shin. The living room—area in the non-bedroom-or-bathroom-space in the cabin where you’ve put a couch, armchair, and rocking chair you’ve grown fond of, really—is small enough that Dean’s knees, extended and one crossed over the other where his feet are on the coffee table, are right by your shoulder, absentminded slow rocking of the maple chair he’s on not quite matching the pace of the hand he has playing with your hair. You’re close to drifting off, and isn’t that weird, that you would get sleepy in a dream, but listening to Sam and Dean is so relaxing. They’re talking about the few weeks they stayed in Bar Harbor as kids, running around Acadia National Park like it was their own personal playground and swimming in freezing cold Atlantic waters, creating all kinds of imaginary games in spite of even Sam being maybe a touch too old for it, by then.

It’s warm; Sam has put a couple logs on the fireplace, trying to hide how eager he is to show his brother all the repairs he’s done to the cabin. More than that, you realize suddenly, it finally feels like home, Dean’s appraisal the baptism that it needed to make you feel safe enough here to approach sleep so casually without Sam’s body as physical protection. Dean’s hand wraps around to cradle your head and he leans over to whisper in your ear. “It’s okay, you can fall asleep.”

You shake your head loose of a little of the drowsiness. “No, I—we’re in my head, it’ll be over if I—” you murmur, waking up even more as you talk.

Sam’s hand moves up and down your shin reassuringly. “It’s okay. We have a greenhouse filled with dream root now, we can come back all the time.”

“Well, not all the time,” Dean amends. “You guys have to get out there, not become sleep junkies. Once, twice a month or something.”

“Oh good, a standing appointment. Like the dentist,” you say, rolling your eyes around a bitter smirk and killing the rest of your drink. Sam smiles softly and looks up at Dean, silently willing him to be the one to argue with you.

Dean takes the bait, sliding his hand out of your hair to prop his elbows on his knees. You sit up straighter to be able to fully see his face.

“Babe, come on, don’t make this harder than it needs to be. Sam and I have seen what happens to people who get hooked on this shit, take it every day. It’s a risk to do it even every couple weeks.”

“You haven’t even explained to me how this works—do I have to decide to wake up or will it happen by itself?”

“It’ll be a natural transition if you don’t consciously decide to,” Sam offers, voice quiet and smooth like you’re some victim’s family member he’s trying to soothe. You let him do it, stop yourself from rankling defensively and appreciate for a second how nice it sounds, how comforting it really is. “Most likely it’ll get easier to control it with a little practice, but I think Dean’s right, if you go to sleep that’ll probably do it a little more, uh, gently.”

Sam’s eyes reflect the firelight as they do every time he sits in that spot on the couch. He looks warm, looks calm and whole. You can see right away that he needs you to be the one who’s struggling to let go—maybe partly for Dean, who’s eviscerated every time he sees his brother hurt and has always been, but also for himself, for the way he’s telling himself this is enough. Though you were the one who’d threatened Dean, Sam had undoubtedly gotten closer to following through—following Dean—both actively and passively. You loved Dean, but Sam in many ways was Dean, just like Dean was Sam. Inextricable in the parts that really counted and that was the point, why you would’ve mainlined dream root swamp ass tea until you withered away like a rat choosing a pleasure button over food to see them both. They were each perfect alone, Sam and Dean—different and perfect—but together they were the sun and the moon, the entire universe inside one Impala.

It’s easy to let him have it. Sam deserves so much more than this small mercy and you are struggling, want desperately to have been put in some kind of coma together in this little play-pretend world where the food’s always exactly what you want and the time passes inconsequentially if at all.

You wipe a tear off your cheek that you hadn’t felt fall, can tell before you open your mouth that your voice is going to falter. “Couple weeks, right? You promise?” Sam and Dean nod in tandem and you try to drink up every drop of it, try to ignore the shade of sad-desperate behind both of their eyes. “And it’s going to be the same? No one’s going to like, forget or anything? Is this like Groundhog Day where you’ll have to be re-introduced to Barbie and Mike every time?”

Dean’s eyebrows screw up in thoughtful empathy. “Pretty uncharted territory here, kid. I hope not, but I don’t want to promise you something I can’t deliver.”

Sam reaches over to take your hand, stroking the back of it with his thumb. “It’ll still be us, though. That’s the important part, right?”

You nod tightly, feeling small and stupid ironically like a kid trying to fight off bedtime. It hangs in the air for a beat.

“Catch you losers later, I guess,” Dean smirks, standing up and offering you a hand. Like he’s heading to his house on the other side of the block you reach up for a hug, only momentarily surprised when Dean foregoes the hug to slip a strong hand into your hair, cradling your face for a kiss that’s somehow bruising and tender as he presses your lower back to weld yourself to him. The feeling of his lips steals the breath from your lungs and you barely have the presence of mind to realize you’re blushing, getting dangerously close to making out just a step away from Sam. Dean, cocky asshole that he is, winks at you as he draws back.

When you turn back to Sam, he’s—he’s rolling his eyes through a smile. With a start you realize it’s exactly the same long-suffering playful tolerance he’d have catching you stealing a kiss during a case and that thought alone is a buoy as Dean pulls Sam down to tuck into his arms, that same eternally-little-brother hug that has always made you smile. You look down at your feet, giving them a second to share a few of those ever-indecipherable looks.

“Do you guys want to just stay out here maybe? I can ‘go to sleep’ or whatever in the other room? Feels a little weird to just sit here and have you both staring at me,” you offer with air quotes.

Sam’s eyes are earnest and reassuring when he meets yours. “Whatever makes you most comfortable. Do you want me to, ah, also…?” He tosses a casual thumb over his shoulder to the bedroom.

“I’ll be okay, I think. Thanks, though.” You rock back on your feet awkwardly. “Um, goodnight, I guess.”

“See you soon, babe,” Dean says, and it’s not hard to see the sweetness under the casual affect he’s trying on.

“See you both soon. Love you, morons.”

You don’t remember falling asleep, but then you wouldn’t, because in reality you’re waking up.

Historic Home From Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian Period in Wisconsin Available for $425K

Bryan Hung

This Usonian gem in Wausau, WI, was snapped up by a Texas couple as a vacation home in Northern Wisconsin. Now they hope to find a new occupant who’s just as smitten with the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.

“We were looking for a Frank Lloyd Wright home—it didn’t matter where—at a price we could afford,” explains homeowner David Wood.

They ended up purchasing the four-bedroom, three-bathroom Charles and Dorothy Manson home. Built in 1940, it is considered an early piece from Wright’s Usonian period.

When Wood saw the home six years ago, he made an offer with no contingencies, getting it for $160,000. Now that he’s spending less time in Wisconsin, he’s ready to unload the 2,462-square-foot home for $425,000.

Constructed from local Ringle bricks and Tidewater cypress in a board and batten design, the home earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places during Wood’s ownership.

Wood thinks the next owner might be in search of a “trophy home” or a secondary residence. Interest so far has come from architects.

“We’re not looking for a local person so much,” says Wood, “because it’s a unique home. I’m not looking for the casual ‘Gee, this has been in the area for years and I’m finally going to take a look’ type of buyer.”

Wright fans will recognize his signature perforated windows and compressed entry hall and gallery. There’s also an abundance of light in the living room thanks to a wall of windows and 11-foot ceiling.

Although the Manson family kept the property until the late 1960s, “there’s been maybe nine or 10 different families over the years” who have owned the home, says Wood. Of those families, “two still live in the area.”

As with Wright’s other Usonian homes, the residence sits slightly lower than street level and features a long, horizontal design. The original carport was turned into a storage room by a previous owner, but it’s now been restored.

Wood and his spouse updated the home while maintaining the architectural integrity. They worked with the local historic preservation committee to replace the pebble and tar flat roof with a rubber roof. They also refinished and restained the exterior wood, restored the second-floor bath, and remodeled the kitchen.

Other upgrades include new landscaping, working fireplaces, and an updated heating system. They also created custom seat cushions and insulated curtains.

Using Wright’s blueprints—which come with the house—they commissioned furnishings for the home. Several pieces will remain with the home, including the dining chairs and the framed photos in the 44-foot-long gallery. Also included in the home sale: the original clothes-drying rack and an adjacent 0.34-acre lot just north of the property.

The home fits seamlessly into its surroundings.

“A lot of historic homes are in this area,” says Wood. “Several homes are on the National Register of Historic Places. It is very hilly, very green, and the neighbors are wonderful.”

Wheeling NHA Wins This Year’s Great American Main Street Award

Wheeling, WV (April 1, 2019)

Wheeling Heritage was acknowledged for its excellent work in historic preservation and community revitalization last week when it was named one of the three winners of the 2019 Great American Main Street Award. Wheeling Heritage is the nonprofit organization that manages the Wheeling National Heritage Area in West Virginia.

Main Street America’s national award recognizes communities for their excellence in comprehensive, preservation-based commercial district revitalization. Three winners for this year’s award were selected by a jury of community development professionals and leaders in the fields of economic development. The other two recipients were Alberta Main Street in Portland, OR, and Wausau River District in Wausau, WI.

Wheeling Heritage has focused on revitalizing downtown Wheeling through historic preservation, community development, and the arts. When Wheeling’s Main Street program was launched in 2015, the downtown vacancy rate stood at 32 percent. Now, after generating nearly $50 million in total investment, the vacancy rate has decreased to 15 percent and 124 buildings have seen improvements.

The organization has also worked to cultivate an increasingly strong small business community. They launched an innovative live community crowd-funding event for new business ideas called “Show of Hands” and brought in an international entrepreneur-training program to assist new business owners. The efforts are paying off: over the past three years, downtown Wheeling has added 37 new businesses, and thanks to a growing downtown shopping, dining, and arts scene, all anchored by an impressive array of historic architecture, more people are living in downtown Wheeling than ever before.

“We’ve been successful because we are cognizant of the ever-changing nature of our community. While we’ve taken great strides, our work isn’t done,” said Alex Weld, Project and Outreach Manager at Wheeling Heritage. “We continuously evaluate and adapt our programming to address pressing needs in the community, which we feel is the best way to help Wheeling continue to flourish.”

How Stair Lifts in Chicago and Roselle, Illinois Help Restore Mobility for Elderly and Disabled

Stair lifts are gaining momentum in recent as more than 30 million Americans are suffering from severe disability. As a result of this, quality of life is highly disturbed. One of the biggest obstacles to leading a fuller life is the inability to move in and around the home. Staying locked up like a prisoner in the home or bedroom means complete reliance on others. Many people with disability cannot accept this life. A home stair life is what can give them an added degree of mobility that can make one’s life easier. Thousands of stair lifts for disabled individuals are in use.

By being able to navigate in and around the home, individuals can rejoin family and friends in the comfort of living room. Furthermore, it allows them to enjoy meals at the dining table. Thus, they no longer feel like a recluse. Having stair lifts in Chicago and Roselle, Illinois installed in the home means more safety and more convenient mobility.

One of the biggest advantages of having stair lifts is its ability to make life easier for caregiver too.

The installation of a straight run on a conventional staircase comparative charge less than curves or two-stage lift runs. As for outdoor installation, costs will vary as per the specifics of the job.

Florida’s Aventura Mall’s New Sunlit Experience

Florida’s Aventura Mall recently completed a new wing expanding the Miami-area retail destination by 315,000 square feet to 2.7 million. This makes it the third-largest shopping mall in the United States, averaging more than 28 million visitors each year. Providing a sunlit experience with indoor conveniences, Super Sky Products Enterprises, LLC manufactured and installed a 347-foot-long, 96-foot-wide, custom, vaulted skylight to crown the new addition.

Supporting Aventura Mall’s bright, modern design, Linetec finished the skylight’s aluminum framing components in a Pale Oak color. Upholding the specified appearance and functionality, the durable, 70 percent PVDF resin-based The finishes also complement the skylight’s high-performance Viracon glass to keep shoppers comfortable beneath the warm, Florida sun.

Opened in 1983 at less than half its current size, Aventura has grown steadily through the decades. The newest addition on the eastern edge was completed in March 2018. “Retail is certainly evolving and we’re always innovating to stay ahead of the curve,” explained Jackie Soffer, co-chair and CEO of Turnberry Associates, the owner and managing entity of the premier fashion destination. “Aventura Mall is now more than just a shopping destination. It’s a gathering place of dynamic, interactive experiences—from fashion to dining to culture, and more.”

JPRA Architects, Inc., served as the project’s architect of record, working with general contractor Plaza Construction Group and design architect Carlos Zapata Studios. Envisioned as a contemporary town square, Aventura Mall’s three-level new wing fuses retailers, restaurants, immersive contemporary art, a food hall and a VIP lounge.

According to Turnberry Associates, “Zapata’s guiding principles – connectivity, integration and transparency – are the hallmarks of the wing’s distinctive design, and complement Turnberry’s progressive vision. Everything is bathed in the sun’s rays filtering through a continuous skylight that hovers over the entire length of this modernist extension.”

With 2,903 hours per year of sunshine and 62 inches per year of rainfall, the skylights brings the outside indoors without the inconvenience of precipitation or unwanted solar heat gain. Super Sky incorporated nearly 11,000 square feet of Viracon’s VNE1-63 clear, insulated, heat-strengthened glass with white, 40 percent dot frit silk-screening and low-e coating. The 0.5-inch air space with stainless steel spacers improved the insulated glass units’ thermal performance for energy efficiency. The StormGuard® enhanced PVB interlayer also optimized performance for large missile impact hurricane-resistance.

“Performance in coastal conditions also is one of the most challenging environments for aluminum,” says Linetec’s senior marketing specialist, Tammy Schroeder, LEED® Green Associate. “Without proper precautions and finishes, corrosion to aluminum components can damage the building envelope’s structural integrity, leading to systemic failure. With skylights – especially those located in a regions prone to high winds, tropical storms and hurricanes – structural integrity is critical to protecting both property and people.”

To stand up to harsh coastal or corrosive environments, Linetec recommends the highest-performing organic paint coating meeting the stringent, industry-leading American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 2605 specification. This specification requires paint coatings to meet rigorous testing performance standards including more than 4,000 hours of salt spray, and heat- and humidity-resistance. These 70 percent PVDF resin-based coatings also shield the aluminum against weathering, pollution and aging, as well intense UV radiation, attributes that contribute to long-term chalk resistance, gloss retention and color retention.

In addition to the reliable performance, the breadth of colors offered in these durable coatings make them a popular choice for architects, specifiers and aluminum architectural product manufacturers. Linetec currently offers more than 50,000 colors and its in-house blending laboratory can match or make almost any conceivable color. For Aventura Mall, Pale Oak was the custom color chosen for the skylight.

The same year Aventura Mall opened its eastern wing, Town & Country Magazine named it one of 2018’s chicest shopping destinations in Miami.

Anchored by Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s, Aventura Mall highlights a mix of more than 300 luxury boutiques and shopper favorites, including Apple, Adidas, Anthropologie, Burberry, Cartier, Givenchy, Gucci, H&M, Louis Vuitton, MCM, Microsoft, Sephora, Topshop Topman and Zara. Aventura Mall also features more than 50 eateries and restaurants, including Treats Food Hall, and the experiential Arts Aventura Mall program showcasing 20 museum-quality pieces in a range of mediums.

Have you ever seen a kitchen island made from a boat? They even inserted the stove.

There’s some kind of seaweed in it, plus a fishing pole to poke your eye out.

And, it’s also got an old outboard motor.

The dining table is made from simulated dock posts and even has a weight for authenticity.

The bedrooms are both spacious with oversized closets. 1 and a half bath and main floor laundry make this one complete. The basement is full, and maybe could be added living space. The garage is as big as the home and is insulated and heated. The trails through the woods lead you to 2 permanent deers stands, and a nice little hunting cabin. Come and Enjoy.

By Wendy Furrer, for Wausau Pilot and Review

Whether you are new to the Wausau area, have been here awhile or are just passing through, the Landmark Hotel Building is one of the most recognized historic spots in the heart of our downtown. Inside the beautiful Landmark, The Peking Restaurant has been a most treasured Wausau tradition since 1980.

Lori and Mitch Meurette are the new owners of Peking Restaurant, a longtime downtown staple located in the Landmark Building in Wausau.

Mitch Meurette started working in the kitchen at Peking in 1990. Learning the ropes and an appreciation for the hard work it takes to run a restaurant, Meurette would become co-owner of Peking with Jeff Cheng in 2000. In August 2018, upon Cheng’s retirement and with a commitment to offer a truly unique dining experience to the Wausau area, Meurette and his wife Lori became the sole owners of Peking and have more than 20 employees on their team.

Mitch Meurette said many people who hear they operate a Chinese restaurant are surprised to see there are no “red lanterns and Chinese music playing” at Peking. On the contrary, dinner at Peking is truly an elegant and relaxing dining experience.

Since assuming ownership, the couple certainly added their own unique charm to the “new Peking.” Floor to ceiling, the space has been freshened up with great attention to detail. When entering the restaurant through new glass entry doors, among the familiar Landmark statuesque marble decor, guests will notice updates like the lounge seating area where lunch tables were once placed, as well as the all new bar seating and updated bar area.

The dining room doors have all been opened to full views of the expansive beautiful space that was once The Landmark Hotel ballroom. Lofty ceilings and windows, original chandeliers, ornate 1925 architecture, and the dining room’s beautiful centerpiece fireplace all provide for a truly elegant dining experience. Mitch and Lori Meurette say all their efforts have been focused on providing an outstanding guest experience: to relax, enjoy an amazing dinner, and not to hurry off, but to take their time to enjoy their visit to the restaurant.

The menu has been freshened up a bit, too. Be assured that while you may still enjoy Peking’s fresh, made to order traditional Chinese Cantonese favorites from the menu, Mitch Meurette said he wants guests to know that “if you call ahead to let me know you’re coming, I am happy to prepare, at your request, a unique ‘chef’s special’ just for your group.”

Peking Owners Mitch and Lori Meurette say they are truly committed to the unique dining experience Peking provides to the Wausau area. They love to hear stories of customers who come from near and far to enjoy dinner at the restaurant because of what Peking has meant to them and their families. While the recognitions and wonderful reviews continue to motivate them, what they want the most is to provide their guests a relaxing enjoyable evening with great food and drinks.

Plan a night out at Peking soon to enjoy a fabulous dinner and cocktails, and plan to stay awhile. Be sure to try their hand-muddled mojitos, and check out their Monday through Thursday happy hour specials.
