Scrounge, Granny and Grandad also visit the Little House in Karen's ice skates. That book was #56, Turkey Day is #67. I think ice skates happened about a year ago during the last (before the Thanksgiving in Turkey Day)holiday season. Now I am wondering if they also visit one other day or if I'm just remembering the movie Karen and her Little House neighborhood friends make for Grandad and then at the end of the book, Karen, Andrew and Lisa meet Seth in NE. As for sofa beds, I have horrible memories of sleeping on one but it wasn't so much about the bed as where I was sleeping. :/ I do also know my Grandma in both her Houston and Arcata apartments had sofa beds and they weren't the most comfortable of things either. The only sofa bed I ever remember being comfortable was when I stayed with friends for almost a week when I was job hunting in Arcata before I had moved back up there. ITA that beds generally are so much more sleep friendly.
I have always thought Watson's mansion as much bigger than Kristy or Karen ever described. Unlike regular Stoneybrook houses, I don't think Watson's ever was said as having a finished basement or rec room. We do know it three floors, plus I believe the entire 4th floor was various rooms that served as attic space. So it could have had many more than 9 bedrooms and probably as Suzi Barrett might say (she did when the Barrett DeWitts were adding the addition on) "a gazillion bathrooms." I have only ever lived in one house and it was a single story. Lisa's little house to me, does sound big but then as you said, in comparison to Watson's "big" house it was very "little" indeed.
