A day
filled with love....

There were many elements that made up this wedding...

If I won the lottery....

I would be living here.....


Yeah, I know....
looks pretty nice...
and BIG!

Well, it is on the market as I type,
for 
2.4 million dollars.
Yeah, I know....



What a view!
front porch view of the water (off Nags Head, NC)
rocking chairs and swings....


I might lose the carpet....
but I would keep the shabby chic furnishings....absolutely.
(maybe a few slipcovers though)


Built in china cabinets, 
a table that seats 10 comfortably,
extra chairs at the ready...
and look at that ceiling!


OK,
here is where we need a little imagination,
honestly, I would probably "cut-loose" with the reciprocating saw in here....
but it has huge potential, and is incredibly large!


LOOK
at the size of these bedrooms!
I know most people would tear out the paneling 
but, I grew up with beach houses that looked like this,
so, to me this looks comfortable, homey and easy to live with....
also, check out the door knob...I'm just sayin'.


shabby chic before it had a name....


windows galore!


and look at those sweet
custom bedspreads from the 1960s...
rick rack!


I'm telling you, 
I am in love...


I can almost smell this attic...
remember how grandmother's attic smelled?


AND
look-see
a place for the children to stay comes with!

Honestly,
I think I could be very happy here,
don't you?

Well, if you have the 
dough.....you can check it out for yourself

But if you do,
remember who told you,
and invite me for a week or two, ok?

TGIF!

I love the weekends!
don't you?

I didn't always...
once, many moons ago,
I had to work almost every weekend.

It was a good job, 
some even considered it a 
"dream job"...
but it took me away from
those that I loved the most...

So,
it had to go...
I grew up and no longer wanted 
the "good life" that took me to 
exotic places...

I wanted to enjoy 
the very special
"quiet moments"

a popsicle with my son...
my dog licking my feet...
the sun warming my face....
my father's stories...
my mother's meatloaf....
laughter with my girlfriends...
all of it could not wait 
not one more minute
without me.....

So,
enjoy where you are planted....












Take care of YOU this weekend!.....
