Practice makes perfect......:)

Patience. Ohhh boy. Such a hard thing for me. I was seriously about to go all Veruka Salt the other day. Daddy! I want a house NOW!!!!!!! and since nothing like this little beaut is available, I'm going to have to practice some patience:( Gulp.    



  My son up and decided to move to Cali a few weeks back:( sniff sniff...aaaand he just so happens to own this cutest 1930 bungalow just a few blocks away for our house! Perfect! He needed a renter, and we needed a house! Renting from our son? Weird, but okay!! God always has a plan, and sometimes it's a funny one:)


So this is where we will plant some temporary roots. I can't WAIT to get my hands on this place!! It's got sooo many adorable original features. And since he trusts his mama completely, (he has to, he has no choice!) he gave me full licence to beautify!! (again, no choice.) I kid!! Not really:)


When I look at this cutie, I can't help but think that I did something right in raising that boy! He loves oldies just like his mama:)
 I drove away singing this to myself:
Mamas don't let yer babies grow up to...........buy ugly houses.

    Now all that fixin' up and decorating will keep you busy and out of trouble. How neat you can rent from your son. He is surely young to own a house.

    Our daughter and son in law are in the process of selling their house to buy ours. Love it when God works out those details. Now if He can just help in getting their house sold, all will be perfect :) Nita
