A Pix Fest of My Home......Why?......

Because...say it all together now. "Company's coming." Yea!...company is always a blessing. Look at the rewards. But before we go on...CAUTION! I want you young gals to remember that I got married decades ago and if you could see some of our first humble abodes, you'd die laughing. My husband was in school for the first eight years of our marriage (earning three degrees) and we didn't finish paying off our student loans until our oldest was 16. So keep that in mind as we go along today. Maybe one day I'll post pix from our first apt. and our two student housing apartments. Great times!! : ) Okay, enough preaching.

I'm just going to take you in one big circle. We're going left, starting at the couch. Close ups of side table : Aren't these the coolest things? They're real pine cones dipped in colored wax.

Here's a close-up of my little jewels. We got the three little cousins together for this photo because Nana (that's me) bought this picture frame and THEN got the idea of how to fill it. Wish you could have been there that night. Like trying to corral a bunch of wild cattle. Could have been a 3-Stooges movie. But look what we got. : )

My last baby...Sara.

I've had this little sign up by my front door for years. Not only to remind all of us to live so that we can proudly return to our real home one day, but also I wanted all the teenagers to see this as they were leaving our home each day and in the evenings when going on their dates. I'm a mom...what can I say? Just tryin' to do my job. : )

Okay, so standing with my front door to my right, we're looking down the hall (which Mr. Chem-Dry came and cleaned today along with the rest of the downstairs carpet). I can't wait till the office behind those double doors is clean so I can take you on that tour. It's my pride and joy.

But something's not right...something's missing.

That's better. Now that the carpet is dry, I put my Nana things back in their place. : )

Standing in front of the office doors looking down the hall.

I added this little squirrel to the cage since I last posted about this table.

And I also added this little framed stitchery.

On the other side of the hall is my "Hall of Fame" with my four wonderful children.

Here is a close-up of what the sign says. How perfectly true.

Back in the Living room.



Here is the bookcase/cabinet to the right of the couch with the infamous dead tree.

Top shelf.

Middle shelf.

And my lovely architectural church I got on clearance a few years ago.

That's it for today. Oh yeah...no cackling from the peanut gallery (my family and friends) who know what a bad housekeeper I usually am. I would rather be creating than cleaning any day, but you know...real life is always beckoning. In a perfect world...you know the rest. : ) Thanks for stopping by today.
