I love this post I wrote about five years ago! The pictures brought back so many great memories. I loved that little house, and all that was accomplished there in the years our family owned it.
That same grandson has been a huge help with our newest little house. I love a cottage feel, and I love white and cobalt blue colors. Our grandson has helped me get that ambience here in the Ozarks, and our oldest daughter has done all the painting…something that I am WAY over! These are the pictures of our little kitchen; with cabinet colors I wouldn’t have thought of before. They are really growing on me! The dining room is my absolute favorite! Check out our newest coffee station. Somehow, coffee tastes even better in just the right space.
We are still working on the kitchen here. The same flooring in the dining room will be in the kitchen. I need to install a backsplash. But for now, the holidays are upon us, followed by winter. It’s time for a break. More pictures to come of the finished projects!
Writing has always been a love of mine. Except for school reports! I didn't cherish those moments. I began with poems in grade school, and short little stories that I illustrated. I created something for each family celebration and probably wore my family out. But I graduated to a longer 'book' by the time I was 18. Following traditional romance novel writing, I pounded out a pretty cheesy story on a Royal typewriter I had found at a garage sale. You didn't worry about your nails when using one of those! When four of our five children were still young, I wrote my first full-length book back in 1998. I followed it with three more in that series. Those are my current WIP, needing many updates and editing. I'm happy to say as of this writing, the fourth in the Love Defined series is written and waiting for edits! I can't wait to get this final book in the series into my reader's hands! Currently, I have published twelve books, creating the covers on most of them. The cover work is something I really enjoy! Stay tuned for more on that.
My husband and I have been married for forty-one years, and we have five children and nine grandchildren. I've been a homeschooling mom, Sunday school teacher, AWANA director and a pastor's wife. I've worked as a CNA and an Activity Director. When I'm not busy writing...which I love, BTW, I'm working on home projects, marketing and attending events, where I love to meet you...my readers!
