Riverside House

This is a house we  rekeyed yesterday in Riverside...south Riverside has many country type large lots with horse trails and  interesting  houses....this house stands on about 2 acres.., its sold and we re keyed it through the escrow company for the new owners....its 5 bedrooms and 3 fireplaces....thought you might like to see the inside...its lovely and interesting..


 Here is the living room, very large with a brick fireplace, open beam ceiling.....



.
This is the second fireplace in the family room.....about the only thing I would change in the house is the bad green carpeting..
This is the third fireplace in the master bedroom....this room is upstairs with a private balcony....you can tell by the wallpaper this would put up in the 90s..the bath has a jacuzzi tub and a separate shower....I had a photo but am having trouble with pictures loading.

 Here is the kitchen..lots of cabinets.....

.
Outside is another room with two sets of French doors.....


I took this last photo from the balcony upstairs...the property has a barn and some out buildings......
we both give a blessing when we are finished on the house...wishing the new owners much joy.......its too much house for us at our ages...but great for a young family....be a great place to grow  up.....lots of room, especially if  you had a houseful of boys.....
More work today in San Diego county...3 jobs that we know of....most of these are escrow re keys, unlike last year when it was foreclosures......we are truly thankful....

Kay sent me a wonderful TRUE story...


A girl wanted to conquer her fear of rock climbing... by going rock climbing with some experts. Half way up the mountain side, she lost one of her contacts. She remembered God’s attributes and prayed that since He saw everything to please let her find her contact.
At the end of the day after they’d descended and were on the trail  to the car they came upon some rock climbers going up to the same spot they had come from. One of the guys said, “Hey, has anyone lost a contact? I found one!” That was strange enough but how he found the contact was even stranger: he was walking along when he saw a little ant on a rock carrying along the contact on his back!
When the girl who prayed and got back her contact went home she told her father --who was a cartoonist. After he heard his daughter’s story he then drew a little ant with the caption, “Lord, I don’t know why You want me to carry this thing; I can’t eat it, it’s awfully heavy... but if this is
what You want me to do I’ll carry it for You!”
Some would call what happened to her a coincidence but those of us who know better would call this Providence – a loving God building up the faith of a young girl.
