ReplyDeleteIt's so good to hear from you. I had been wondering how things were going. Hadn't seen anything on the news about a mom travelling with a UHaul, a bunch of kids and a pack of dogs and cats so I figured you all were just busy settling in in Min-uh-soh-da.
Gotta love the old house charm.
Wow, is that pink flooring propped up against the basement door? Is that what's on the floor of the non-green and yellow parts?
ReplyDeleteWas the basement a surprise? If it was, you might want to consider a "People Across the Lake" scenario and take heed. J/k!
Glad you're back, Heidi!!
Just remember, perfection is boring!!
ReplyDeleteLove you.
Boy, that sure did come with lots of character built in! I'm certain they would have charged me extra if I had asked the builders to incorporate a half door in the plans.
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to seeing more pictures when you get around to it.
wow, I remember #10 - hadn't thought of that in years!! Good to hear from you.
