I live in a country home, my favorite 10 acres on Earth. You would never know looking at it from the outside, the worth it means to me. There may be more stately mansions that look more devine but they lack the passion.
Inside this house I have memories everywhere from attic to living area basement. There are most certainly echoes of hearts past and present.
There may not be granite countertops, velvet curtains, etched glass but these walls have my heart.
I think of the sweat, toil and tears of this house built with mine & my late husband's own hands from the ground up to make it a home.
The memories within this house comforts me.
The house always smells of yummy cooking especially when my Granddaughter comes to visit.
In addition to a basement bath complete with Juquzzi tub... I built a modest main floor bath with plenty of room to bathe, towel dry off and a dual sinks vanities, medicine cabinets too. Plus plenty storage in my personally designed walk-in linen closet.
One of my pet peeves is a small bath where you almost have to step over a toilet to get into the bath tub. Not a problem here.
I love my collection of books, collector magazines, tins and general pack rat items in my personal office built especially for me.
and... as I look out the window towards the future.
I pray that there will continue to be love as large as the past within this house.
Some days it will be a place where the family will be brought together with joyous times.
This country home was built with passion and surely will endure and flourish into the future.
Love be outlasting within these walls. This is my house, my home and my world.
The door will always be open to anyone to come sit awhile with me.
Hope to see you there sometime!
Nana
