Views from where I lay...

 

it seems a kidney stone has decided now would be a good

time to move (must be the theme for the year- move!)

 

so, I decided while I'm just laying here...

-which is NOT my favorite thing to do!-

I'll share a few random thoughts and photos from the new house-

from where I'm laying, on the couch, in the family room!

Did ya'll notice I wouldn't let them put the T.V. above the fireplace?

I was thinking I didn't want it to be the "main" focal point...

guess that didn't work out too well!- I bet your eyes went straight to

that large black box!-*please note however,  it is not on while I'm laying here!

(I'm not a huge fan of T.V.,  are you?)

 

my trusty sidekick Odie is laying in here too!

   His "downstairs bed" is kept right here in the family room-

He's never far from anyone who isn't feeling well, He's such a sweet dog!

 

I'm not sure if you can tell in this picture or not?...

but all the ceilings in the house are painted the palest blue,

I have done this in most of our homes- "nothing but blue skies" for this girl!

It just casts such a lovely glow in the home!

I chose chandeliers for every room in the house- I LOVE beautiful lighting!- 

it's like "jewelry" for your home!

Can you guess which room my husband "drew the line"

on my chandelier love?  yep! this one!...

now that I'm laying here though, I'm thinking I REALLY would like to replace

that fan with another chandelier!- we''ll see.

 

and of course on the coffee table you'll find a large glass of water-not coffee!

I've been drinking lots and lots of water,

hoping and praying this kidney stone will move on out!- quickly!

I've also been enjoying perusing through some of my favorite magazines and books!

Ya'll do know about Amy Powers amazing e-books (and now hard copies too!)

"Inspired Ideas"? Oh! there are such a delight! A true treat!

 

I brought my "stitching bag" down too,

hoping to work on a few little projects, but haven't felt well enough right now-

maybe tomorrow...

 for now though, I'm just content laying here- and not in the hospital-(thankfully!) 

focusing on just how beautiful life really is-

even when things don't go according to your plans!

Goodness! I think this might be the longest post I've ever written!

 Thank ya'll for enduring my random ramblings and little tour!

You are too sweet!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

 lots of love & blessings!
