Dear Mrs. (Slightly) Sophisticated

Is there such a thing as elevator etiquette anymore? This is a topic that draws much debate, especially among different generations. … First, a brief history of the elevator might clarify why certain rules came to be. The first human-powered, counter-weighted, personal elevator was built in 1743 for King Louis XV of France. It connected his apartment in Versailles to that of his mistress, Madame de Chateauroux, who lived one floor above him. … Elevators were used in commercial and industrial settings over the next century, not so much for moving people, but for moving heavy items.

There is something nostalgic and pure about the idea of picking blackberries, gathering eggs and enjoying birds chirping in the morning breeze from your oversized front porch. It evokes feelings of a quiet and uncomplicated life, untainted by the bustle of busy streets. It is country living at its best.

Country living is not for everyone, but for Faith and William Ellis, that long dirt road represents more than the route to their home.
