I am having so much fun, I think I had better continue
my blog while euphoria is in full bloom.
It has been awhile, so let me recap the building of my house.
History continued ...
I last left off a long time ago. November. I just looked at
Google and the stats show 50,751 hits on my blog !!
Face book has close to 3,000 views.
Wow !!! My motivation.
I need to continue because I have more
to share.
Back to November......finally, after two months,
of torture, my loan came through.
Paid off my contractor, my card debt and all debt...except the new
one, my mortgage. It is good to have room to breathe...
in a new clean fresh house and without financial pressure.
There will always be some financial pressure but at least that
pressure I am enduring in my beautiful house on this wonderful
piece of property.
The house was finished....and all of a sudden,
I was On....
Out of the trailer,
and moving into a real live house.
I moved all of my belongings out of my son's garage and the
shed into the new house. Not that easy. I have accumulated so
much stuff, it took forever and still is....going through everything.
Memories galore !!! Pictures galore !! My dad's stuff, my mom's stuff
my stuff....all into a 880 sq. foot house. It has been such fun unpacking
treasures from long ago and then placing them around my new home.
I feel like a little girl at times...found my paper dolls, dolls,
ton's of coloring books and my sewing basket and all kinds of projects.
I have started a couple of these projects but there is still much to do
around the house and garden.
When I started this blog last April it was the beginning of an adventure
I had been waiting to take for over 40 years and more intently the last 5.
When I look around outside, through my upstairs window,
I am grateful and pleased for what I have accomplished. It took
a very long time to get back home and build my house. My House.
It is beautiful and I awake each morning happy and thankful.
A friend of mind told me how to bless my future house before I started
to build.
I walked the foundation and blessed each corner and meditated on
what I wanted to come from this house. I wanted my house to be
A Labor of Love and Labors of Love to be created from within.

Even though it is all good, there are days I get lost.
And when these days show up, I have a plan. It seems to work.
And, I can't wait to share it with you next time.
Also, my son is just finishing up with his new sleeping cottage
and it is adorable.
