Today we ran the gamut from a wreck of a house to a beautiful condo in a upscale neighborhood.
I have learned over the last few years, it doesn't really matter what your house looks like on the outside...a tiny cottage, or a affluent mansion...a log cabin or a mobile home....a duplex or a mountain retreat..a apartment or a 50s ranch house...they are all just boxes...its what goes on inside which makes the difference.
Home is where friendships are formed and families are grown;
where joy is shared and true love is known;
where memories are made and seeds of life are sown.
This is the place . . . that people call HOME.
We came home to the dishes all put away and the carpet vaccumed.....all in all a great day!

We live in an older home and it is to small for us but it is home and anyone that has been here says it's homey..It is always cluttered because of my crafts and sewing. I have different projects going at the same time a lot in every room except the bedrooms. We have a big pallet on the floor for the pups in our room so it never looks like a model home but all my dogs are important to me. The guest room bed has big huge bags of accent pillows I made waiting to be sold. Maybe one day it will look better and I always have to clear the dog crate and overflow out of the guest room when someone comes..shove it in sewing room and then when company leaves I haul everything back out. Looks nice for a few days but it is home..like you said :)
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you do see all kinds of beautiful houses, Dani~ but you're right, it doesn't make it a "home".
ReplyDeleteLoved your cute vintage postcard!
Sounds like a great day and yes, so true about houses, they are just a shell against the elements and what you make of it makes all the difference:)
ReplyDeleteI live in an old mobile home as you know...but,as you say ..it's just a box...a roof and walls...its home and its mine....I am so grateful for it....blessings dear Dani.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a beautiful post today.
