December 2005- although it could be any of our happy years since 1997...
Thankfully, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Thank you for being the constant light, love, adventure and journey of my life. Happy 11th Anniversary dear Lovey!

peek-
The girls are newly in love with fort building. The giggles that erupt from deep inside this tree tent make us all grin right along with them. Fortunately with small ones, we’re all in the club if we want to be!
Sunday Still Life is an evolving photo project started by Erin. It’s an invitation to explore the beauty and depth of life through traditional still life composition and / or photos and words to evoke inner stillness and reflection. If you feel so inspired, join in! Erin is on a cyber-vacation for the month of August and I’ll be hosting Sunday Still Life. After you post yours, stop by here and leave a link so we can all come visiting.
Keep it slow. Keep it simple.

The House of Two Gables
This is our homeplace, our little house nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s a sweet little house hand-built in 1941. It had one owner previously and we purchased it 8 years ago after she passed away. It’s a funny little house with hardwood floors, a fireplace, a builtin-bookcase for your pretties and what-nots, a pantry, 2 screen porches and old kitchen that could use some love. The yard is filled with foliage that has been here long before us and will still be here long after we are gone. It’s been a happy little home and lately we feel we may be outgrowing it. While we may move on in a year or two the homeplace where we started our family will stay in our hearts.
