I love houses...

I'm not sure where it has come from since I grew up in the same house for almost 18 years never moving but always LONGING to move. Maybe that's where my love for houses has come from!?!

I have a love for houses new and old, historic, log cabins, rustic homes, castles, victorians...I just LOVE houses!!!

I often try to think of what my favorite or forever house would be like...would it be large or small, new or old, historic, log cabins, rustic homes, castle or victorian...I still haven't figured it out...I just LOVE houses!!!

Since leaving my parents home at 18 years old I have moved 10 times in 21 years and this is the longest time I have been in the same place for more than 4 years. I love our house...it's beautifully decorated and paid for...what more could a girl ask for...except to maybe have the rest of the house finished. Yet, I still get pleasure looking at houses, touring houses, dreaming of houses...I just LOVE houses!!!

I love the architectural details, the wood, the brick ~ pretty much everything but a dual & boring house.

What about you...what kind of house do you like?

So I'm re-opening my Bloggy Tour of Homes for Danielle @ Transforming Home 's Blog Home Party. These photos are from 2004, 2005, 2006 and most of the home is still the same although a bit more cluttered these days. :( My daughter's room has changed so I'll see if I can locate a picture of that for here. As you can see I'm a big fan of color and Uppercase Living!!! :)(Scroll over the slide pictures to see room info)

It figures tonight would be a full moon...it's a sad, sad day!

I woke up this morning believing that the Lord wanted me to call an aunt of mine and apologize to her for being judgmental toward her...my flesh didn't "WANT" to do that but nevertheless, I did it. It was tough and the conversation wasn't as I had hoped but she "DID" grant me forgiveness. (Thank you Lord!) Heather and I decided to run over and see my uncle who is in the hospital...we got ALL the way over to St. Louis University Hospital and drove through the entire parking garage for 10minutes trying to locate a parking spot. We finally got parked and walked all the way from one of the furthest spots in the garage to the elevators and then across the cross walk to the hospital. Lo-n-behold the receptionist about came unglued when we didn't stop at her desk because apparently, kids are NOT allowed in St. Louis University Hospital...you have to be at least 18 years old...ugh! She told me I was welcome to leave my 10 year old in the lobby (yeah right!) wh...

Vacuum Canning Marshmallows

Image
A few weeks ago I happened upon a steal of a deal at my local Goodwill...I LOVE it when that happens! I snagged a deal on this handy little guy (in black) picture borrowed from Amazon.com (that I must confess I didn't have the SLIGHTEST idea what to do with until I hit some youtube videos) Got him for $9.95...I know a steal of a deal when I see it! I bought him for the vacuum part not so much the sealing part. I then purchased the jar attachments and hose so I could begin dry canning some goods that have been hanging out in bags for quite some time. Hope you enjoy this fun little video of our marshmallow canning: Happy Friday!
