We have redecorated it many times...carpet, wallpaper, paint, new kitchen cabinets...etc...it had been was green and white when we moved in, we painted it yellow and now it is red..I love the red...it took me awhile to be brave enough to paint it red, but love, love it red now...my little cottage...my home until I reach my heavenly home.....this little red house in my temporary home here on earth...
When we bought this house I never thought we would actually stay here this long....I was 23..Chad was not born yet.. Steph was 5 and Talmage was 3. Everett's dad sat on our couch in our living room the first time he was here and said " you have a really nice home here why don't you stay here for awhile" I wish he was still living so he could know that we are still here...and maybe he does know....
There have been times I have wanted to tear out walls, build on and so on...but never have...I kinda like it just the way it is....It is small when everyone comes home but for the most part when it is just the two of us it is perfect....not to much to clean but yet for us very roomy...
40 years in one place is a long time.....growing years....some good some not so good...but it has been my life here....I am thankful that 40 years ago God opened the door to this home for us....
We have even had a wedding here...our first grandchild, (Abby) wanted to get married at Grandma's house what a blessing.....
There is a song....about Heaven....some call it paradise......but I will call it home...
