Baseboards in the nursery painted white- check

It still doesn't seem real.
When does it feel real?

.337/365.

Started working on the nursery!
Painting this weekend & part of next week,
then it's on to sewing (yikes!)
I keep trying to picture our little bird
in here & I just can't seem to grasp it.
So happy.

I really need to take a break from these books.
They are starting to freak me out.

I love doing things the natural way,
& essential oils have made a big difference.
Thanks Marilyn, & Mom & Dad.
I love that both sets of parents have
gotten interested in this at the same time.

Doors are being opened.
I just have to have the faith
& the courage to walk through.

As a little girl I used to LOVE playing in the sprinklers in the front yard.
One day my Dad came home with a sprinkler just like this one,
& it was just for me.
I'll never forget how Dad made my little four year old
heart feel so special.

I don't know how on earth he can read these.
(It helps that he is a major smarty pants)
I'm so lucky to have such a hard working hubby.

God Bless America
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

a really gorgeous trunk that my mom is hanging on to for my aunt
(until I can talk her out of it *wink)
it belonged to my mothers great great grandmother.
right mom?
I love family heirlooms. I love to image who these mysterious people were,
& if I'm like them.

a head shot
(to show his diversity?)
of my great uncle taken in the fifties.
you can see him in movies like
The Court Jester
&
Rebel Without A Cause
so cool.

It was love at first sight.

I thought I would document gas prices while they are still low.
Who knows how long we have before we go over $4 again...
[i think blood is shooting out of my eyes.]
