A New Look

There's a new look to the blog and to the Cottage, inside and out.  2010 brought a new roof, a new paint job and some landscaping to the cottage.  2011 brought a storm that felled three trees.  In addition 2011 is bringing a new kitchen and two new bathrooms to the cottage!  A new photo will come soon to replace this one.  We will miss that beautiful Hawthorne tree...............

This week

Tomorrow is Friday. In astrology Friday is connected with the planet Venus. This associates Friday with love, peace, and relaxation. Dan gets a free day with no visit to MVH tomorrow. It may be due to the new machine delivery.

So, as of today the count is 6 down, 37 to go.

We are looking forward to the weekend. We'll be buying 3 new outdoor lamps for our house. We have 2 front porches and 1 back door that have lights. They all need replacing! Electrician is scheduled for December 11. I'd love to put about 3 on the garage, too, but those will have to wait. The economy, you know.... We also have a Christmas Brunch to attend on Sunday afternoon.

Do you have weekend plans?

I'm going to try my hand at this... National Blogging Posting Month (or something like that), where I'll blog each day for a month. This month's theme is "Home". So, I'll start with a description of our house which is our home and has been for 19 years. A lovely nearly 100 year old home that creaks in the wind and holds so many memories. It's prairie style, taken from Frank Lloyd Wright and designed by Louis Lott.
