Dear friends,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems I have TWO blogs now and I am going to try to MERGE the two....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope and pray I don't blow myself and my two blogs right off the planet..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just the word "<span style="color: red;">MERGE"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">sounds scary to me.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">HOWEVER, I can't blog from both blogs...</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">every time I want to post on one, I have to sign in with the email address I created that blog with..</span></span></div>

<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">Both blogs have different emails....sooo frustrating ...</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

which made it very hard to decorate the mantel behind ....<br />
<br />
that stove pipe and I have fought round and round about how to decorate the shelf...and .....most of the time...I WON... <br />
<br />

A few days after we signed the contract on the CONTINGENCY SALE of our house,<br />
I found myself tearing up every time I walked into the living room....<br />
<br />
Even when I told myself....<br />
<u><b>HEY.....</b></u>get a grip...<br />
This is just a HOUSE and just look at the beautiful house we are being<br />
handed on a platter.<br />
A gift given to us out of PURE LOVE....! <br />
<b>"SHAME ON YOU !"</b><br />

<b> </b>I THOUGHT I was going to miss my STOVE...<br />
<br />
This beautiful cast iron stove belonged to my mama.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The old home place was very old and when she decided to move over to be closer to us,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she sold her house to the Episcopal church next door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The church was going to tear down the old house and use the property for extra parking for their services.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mr. Sweet took the stove out of the house and we stored it in our garage....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FOR 11 YEARS....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

With Mr. Sweet working out of town most of the time during those years,<br />
we just never got the stove installed in our cottage. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
One year for a Christmas present to his mama,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our sweet son, DAVID KEITH, said,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Mom, I don't have any money for Christmas gifts (he was a young married and knee deep in college)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I would like to install your fireplace for your gift."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am squalling like a baby just remembering and writing about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Such a sweet, tender thing....he knew how much that would mean to me and I'll never forget his tenderness and thoughtfulness and love for the rest of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a professional do the installing of the flue and etc.....and my sweet boy did all the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
brick work and made it all so pretty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't begin to express the many hours of enjoyment this gift has brought to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It belonging to my mother...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my son putting the stove into our house...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there's just so much meaning there for me, I <b>THOUGHT </b>I was sick about leaving <b>IT.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I sounded ungrateful for the most blessed gift he and his family are giving us...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a beautiful house to live in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't mean that at all.....I will forever be grateful for this beautiful house<br />
that I am growing to love in the week we've been in it...<br />
<br />
and, then.....the <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>INFAMOUS LIGHT BULB</b></i></span> came on.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not really THE STOVE I will be leaving and missing....<br />
it's the deep-seeded memories I have when I just even LOOK at the stove.<br />
<br />
The <i><b>gift of love</b></i> is ALWAYS there. <br />
<br />
I don't HAVE to SEE things to remember the love shared in this house<br />
and this makes my heart swell so big, it almost jumps right out of my body.<br />
<br />
Tears are running down into my coffee...<br />
my nose is so stopped up, I may NEVER breath again...<br />
sometimes, it feels like the LOVE will just make you explode. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wouldn't be completely honest if I said that I am not going to miss anything</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about our home of almost 40 years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, I am bound to miss it.<br />
<br />
I can still see my sweet girl, STACY LEIGH, sitting on the bar stool by the front window...<br />
watching for the "boy next door" to drive by the house a hundred times a night....and rev his motor<br />
so she'd be SURE to see him.... <br />
<br />
and watching DAVID make a huge jump on his bike over the large bush in our front yard every day<br />
after school....<br />
<br />
OH, YES.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's lots of wonderful memories here but the great thing is that those memories are something</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I will always .....ALWAYS.....have tucked into my heart.<br />
<br />
They are all held together with my heart strings and they will be there,<br />
no matter if I NEVER see this house again...or some of the things in it.<br />
<br />
OOO, what a blessed and a "WHEW" moment when I realized I wasn't being<br />
ungrateful by saying I would miss these <span style="color: red;">THINGS.</span> <br />
<br />
Once I realized it wasn't the things I would miss at all...<br />
and when I realized that I would be taking every single one of the precious memories<br />
WITH me,<br />
all was well with my soul.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>All IS well with my soul !!</b></span> </div>

After frying pork chops, add a little oil to the same</div>

skillet and a spoonful or two of flour...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
let it all brown slightly,</div>

then add milk....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
always <u>stir gravy with a SLOTTED spatula or spoon.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this will keep lumps from forming in the gravy.<u> </u> </div>

Bits and pieces of the dining area in this amazing SUMMER HOUSE...<br />

This metal and glass table that stood in our living room for years </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now adds some character to our dining area.<br />
<br />
It is really such a NOTHING TABLE...very plain and, without the thick glass,<br />
I could pick up the metal table and throw it into the next county....VERY light...<br />
and yet...<br />
it's one of my favorite pieces. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to cover those little stools in a burlap......SOMEday..!! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw that wine rack on a blog and fell in love...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bought it at WORLD MARKET for less than $30.<br />

I got the idea to put those little stools beneath MY table (bottom left)<br />
from that inspiration Pottery Barn table and stools on the right <br />

Most of the walls in the house have a TERRA COTTA paint and at first, I was thinking I might not like the color.<br />
<br />
I have had WHITE walls<br />
for.ever so ANY intense color was bound to be so different, it would <i>FREAK ME OUT.</i><br />
<br />
Turns out, I really am liking this warm color...<i> </i><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I began to embrace that wall color....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
picking out natural, neutral colors from the things I have...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and also was surprised to see how other colors like <i>turquoise</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>REALLY WORKED </i>with Terra Cotta.<br />

I was so glad to find the perfect place for this little piece. <br />
<br />
Daughter, Stacy Leigh, gave this to me for my birthday last year and I really, really like it.<br />
<br />
With baskets and plants,<br />
it fits right in this<br />
<i>unconventional </i>house....<br />
<br />
I feel many of my olden things just don't really work in this new home of ours.....<br />
<br />
which is A.O.K. with me.<br />
<br />
I was ready for a change...<br />
sold some of my pieces....<br />
gave others to family....<br />
<br />
looking for other furniture pieces that say, "Hey, choose me...I'd look fabulous in that great house."<br />
<br />

I put the little adorable OWL PILLOW in with the baskets and ivy and he looks so cute sitting in there.<br />
<br />
Daughter in Law, Kathy, gave him to me for Mother's Day.<br />
<br />
Such a cheerful little fellow and I love his HEART....<br />

I'm sure it will be changed many, MANY times and<br />
that's the fun part of<br />

NESTING...<br />

I did place that pot of ivy into a crystal bowl and it looks much better...along with the other clear glass.<br />

.....reds...oranges...greens...golds...turquoise...whites...blues.<br />
<br />
I first thought of it as a SUMMERTIME rug...<br />
now I am thinking how bright, fun and warm it will look during the cold WINTERTIME... <br />
<br />
My dining table and white chairs are perfect for the room.....<br />
plenty of room to add more leaves to the table....and the two long benches on either side...<br />

(and now that I look at it....this MAY be considered a REDNECK lunch !!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just couldn't wait any longer to get that ONE ROOM finished....<br />
<br />
one straight and pretty room to go to, amid all the boxes and STUFF stacked every where...<br />
to <b><i>catch my breath !</i></b> <br />

This is one of the most delightful, roomy, charming dining rooms I've ever had<br />
AND I AM SOOO HAPPY !!<br />
<br />
I unpack a box, then walk to this room and stand and stare at it....<br />
makes my heart skip a beat every time I think...."we are REALLY going to live here". <br />

<br />
I can't tell you how pleased I am that so many of my things look right at home in this new wonderment.<br />
<br />
I worried a bit about that but....<br />
<br />
no need to worry over such trivial things <br />
when one is fluffing a new nest.<br />
<br />
I should know that if it's something<br />
I dearly love,<br />
IT IS GOING TO FIT..!!<br />

while Mr. Sweet is here at the table.....watching <i>football</i> on tv<br />
with a knife and fork in his hands...<br />

Hi, all....<br />
here it is...about time to start another week....<br />
the first week of OCTOBER.<br />
HOOOOLY COW....<br />
how come this year completely skipped the month of SEPTEMBER...???<br />
<br />
Whaaat ????<br />
We DID have September....well.....it must have been the fastest moving September of all time.<br />
<br />
We've really worked at this moving thing....<br />
We had NO idea it would take us a year to get moved....<br />
we thought the olden house would sell quicker than ....<br />
let's see.....<br />
it was on the market 7 months before it sold....<br />
(AND...if these people that are in contract with us don't sell THEIR house<br />
by December 3rd....the whole deal will be OFF.)<br />
Oh, Lordy....please pray for us....!!</div>

We are almost finished with the little closet that will house our stackable washer and dryer....
Once we get the washer out of the middle of the floor, we can begin to move our furniture in....<br />
<br />
Hoping to do that this coming week....<br />
<br />
We are sooo ready to SLEEP there....WAKE up there...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>LIVE there !!</b></span> </div>
<br />
Being desperate to have a little LAW AND ORDER, when I'm not needed to help Mr. Sweet in the building, I am unpacking and putting things away. I've made quite a dent in the amount of stacked boxes...<br />
I am beginning to see that infamous LIGHT.<br />
<br />
So many things I can't put away until our furniture is there....hutches and etc....<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to share with you a few bits and bobs about the kitchen that I am so in love with.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
and.....this stove is the ONE IN MY DREAMS...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gas...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 burners</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stainless....<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took down all those little tiny COMMAND hooks...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not liking the looks of those....<br />
I wonder what in the world they could have hung on so MANY ??<br />
<br />
I'm not one to hang a lot on the walls of my kitchen...<br />
a nice drawer is right behind me when I'm standing at the stove<br />
that holds all my hot pads and cup towels. </div>
<br />
This is such a <i>dream kitchen...</i><br />

ISN'T THIS A BEAUTY IN RED !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
While unloading a box at the Goodwill truck the other day, a woman drove up beside me and I spied this bright red, heavy cast iron GUM BALL MACHINE in the back of her car.<br />
<br />
I asked her if I could buy it since she was giving it to Goodwill but she <i>gave</i> it to me instead. <br />
<br />
I had one when our grands were little but one of the boys knocked it over and the glass part hit the brick of the fireplace.<br />
<br />
Now.....<br />
I just need to buy some gum balls.<br />
<br />
I'm looking for some of those <i>special</i><br />
kinds....flavored and yummy.<i> </i> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Back to the kitchen.....</b><br />

<br />
I am just unpacking and placing things around,<br />
letting them 'fall where they may' for the time being.<br />
<br />
The right time will happen when, all at once,<br />
as if wiggling my nose,<br />
every thing will be in it's proper place....<br />
<br />
I still have a box of things like my canister set...<br />
coffee maker....<br />
all the things that we've had to use right up to the last minute of moving.<br />
<br />
This kitchen counter will have a new look every few days, I'm sure...<br />
altho,<br />
I just have 2 more boxes with dishes to unpack .<br />
YAY <br />

I adore the long, wide ISLAND that separates the galley kitchen from the dining area.<br />
On the kitchen side, there's drawers and doors and storage, O MY.<br />
O, yeah....I've already told you that...<br />
<br />
I am just so excited to have such an efficient, new kitchen...with such pretty<br />
cabinets, counter tops, beautiful stove and microwave.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not sure what the beautiful, black, reflective counter top is,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I have started a STRONG LOVE AFFAIR with it.<br />
It is PURE CLASS !! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The above shows what I have placed on it <i>for now....</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure things might chance with the opening of the next box....:)<i> </i></div>

don't want to go to the dump and have a picnic, they want to go out to a
beautiful place and enjoy their day. And so I think our job is to try
to take the environment, take what the good Lord has given us, and
expand upon it or enhance it, without destroying it.</a></span><br />

I used PEPPERED SMOKED TURKEY<br />

The founder and owner of<br />

Here's a tiny FAMILY TIDBIT....<br />
<br />
My grandmother, Emma, was expecting my mama when her brother was going off to war.<br />
Emma said, "Fred, I swear to you that no matter if this baby is a girl or a boy, I will name it after you."<br />
<br />
My mama came along and was named HELEN FREDERICK....<br />
I think this is the <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;"><i><b>SWEETEST</b></i></span></span></span> story I've ever heard.<br />

Emma's brother, Fred, didn't come home from the war.<br />

Rebecca found another location and is just outside of Fredricksburg as you drive

still has those yummy pig pig cookies and lots of other goodies too. If I go to
Fredricksburg, I always stop on my way back to Austin. Gotta take some of her
cookies back with me. '-)<br />Funny, I have photos sitting in my files with the
