Look who's waiting for dear daughter to come home from college? Abby says "hurry home".

The Best Book of the Year

It's finally here - Fifi O'Neill's Romantic Prairie Style. I love love love every picture in this book! I could look at it every day!!! Plus, the articles about each homeowner featured in the book are fabulous. I just gave a copy to my sister for her birthday. I know she'll love it as much as I do.

Rush out and get your copy ASAP.

A Cold Day Turns into Snow!

Just one day after moving into our new home, we're welcomed by the first snow storm since 1995. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Our Empty Cottage

Here are a few photos of the inside of our new home - empty for now, but not for long. The dogs are loving it already!

Here's a view of the living room! A working fireplace - I'm so happy!!



This will be our daughter's room when she's home from college:



The master bedroom. Sorry it's a little blurry. Hopefully, the king-sized bed will fit in here. We'll make it work.



And a couple of shots of Abby and Bailey getting to know their new home.

Moving

We're moving to a cute little cottage home a few miles from where we live now. Cozy is really the operative word - it's about half the size of the home we're living in now.

I'm looking forward to the challenges of living in a smaller home once again. Here's a pic of the home now and I'll keep posting as we move in and begin to decorate this little cottage.
