In this episode of True Tales From Old Houses, Stacy opens up about two major goodbyes, one expected, one not. After losing her sweet dog Millie, a constant companion through every renovation and recording, she shares what it's been like to grieve a friend who was always underfoot and forever part of Blake Hill House.
Speaking of the house… Stacy also reveals her timeline for selling BHH. She and Daniel talk through the emotional layers of letting go, the weight of old house ownership, and what it means to start imagining a new chapter in a new, old house.
There's also talk of kitchen redesigns, moving entire houses, and how a good yard sale can be weirdly therapeutic.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
