I have got to — got to — share this picture with you! I only wish I could find close-up pictures of the rooms.
I really think, though being content now with what I have, someday I’m going to have to build an authentic Victorian doll house.

You know I did not want to go into work this afternoon, right? Actually, there are many things I love about my job. I am surrounded by healthy foods, awesome nutritional drinks, and supplements galore, which is right up my alley. Still, what mom wants to leave home and go to work on a Sunday afternoon? There was comfort in knowing my children were in good hands.
Even as I left, there was a serious lure consultation going on between dear husband and son #2. I had to get a picture. Dear husband called son #2 a “child of wisdom” — you know, because he likes fishing lures.
I am embarrassed to tell you how many tackle boxes we have, just like this and just this full. It could be worse things though, right? My husband wouldn’t let me photograph the box with the “classic” stuff in it because one of my readers might try to come and take it. ~:-D
Yeah, I didn’t want to go to work, but all things considered, I have it pretty good.
I’ve had a quote on my mind today. It may be of help to those of you who long for something in your life to change. Have you seen the movie Cast Away
The main character, Chuck, after all he’s been through, talks about staying alive minute by minute, by just breathing.
“One day logic was proven all wrong because the tide lifted, came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I’m back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass. And I’ve lost her all over again. I’m so sad that I don’t have Kelly. But I’m so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I have to keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?”
I think we all have to keep going. We don’t know what the tide will bring us tomorrow. I don’t want to miss it.

My playlist is still here! It's just not set to autoplay. So those of you who love listening to beautiful music while you read, go all the way to the bottom of the page and click the play button.
I am a 40-something-year-old mother of four delightful children, have been married for 22 years to my carpenter husband, and live in a 1921 farm-style house. I find the most joy in my garden, growing and harvesting herbs and flowers and caring for our delightful bunnies.
I have a 21-year-old son, an 18-year-old son, a 15-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly (and very funny) 11-year-old daughter who is homeschooled.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I'm a book lover, bird lover, gardener and aspiring herbalist. I seek no help for my thrift store addiction. I do medical transcription from home part-time.
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
