No, really, thank you. I think everyone does have their own mark they make in a home. I do try. ;) Emily, thank you! I would love to see your home. I do truly love old homes. They present challenges, but so do new ones. I keep telling myself to just bloom where I'm planted! :) Ah, Jenn, you said it perfectly: Would love to be young again, but not with the same brain. Me too! Or me either! Whichever is correct! ;) Thanks, Maria. The best we can do is keep trying. My children are getting older, but I find that one is never too old for lessons, so I keep sharing with them as I learn new things and just hope it sinks in. Oh, Marqueta, if it weren't for thrift stores...well, there would be a certain part of me that just would not be me. I love to shop in them and I love to donate to them. I think they are one of the nicest things that have been set up in our country. They are a great help to many. Cathy, thank you so much for your kind comment. :) Honey, thank you! I enjoyed a visit to your blog this morning. :) Thanks Trinity Mommy. :)

I really like how you penned these words - "After all, it’s the little, mundane household chores (done with joy, of course) that make a house a home. I want to delight in my work here at home. I want to never forget that it’s my job to serve with joy." I really enjoyed my visit to your little place on the web today. Thanks for creating such a wonderful website. I love your blog.

It would be nice to be younger again, but I would not want the same brain! And I like the thought of creating spaces in your home to look at while doing the things that need to be done. Very good idea. Jenn Ah, maturity is a blessing that comes with age. It would be nice to be younger again, but I would not want the same brain!

Ours is almost two hundred years old and most of the decor reflects its age. Thankfully we love antiques! Your little laundry room corner is so sweet. I've also created oases of beauty all around my home - my cousin once called them still life settings. It makes the load seem lighter if we have something lovely to gaze upon, doesn't it? Loved your post; it truly sums up what it means to make a house a home. I completely understand about living in an old home, Lynn.
