32 years ago, the hubs came home, and told me he had bought a piece of property,
1 acre, on a winding river.
It was a done deal, without me ever seeing it, he said I would love it.
When he took me to see it, I fell in love.
Located in the town I grew up in, on a cul-de-sac,
it would be the perfect place to raise our boys.
He said he was going to build our dream home and he did.
32 years later, we are still here and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
This Spring, we have been doing some serious home improvements,
one of those being a new paint job.
It took 6 weeks but it's finally done. There are no before pictures but here's how it looks now...

Hello, Debbie! Your home is beautiful. I like the new color, our house is blue too. You are in a wonderful location near the river. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
Aha! You have one of those interesting houses that looks one story from the front, and is two stories from behind. Love the wrap-around deck, always someplace to sit in the shade. And a beautiful house.
Very pretty!
A home so beautiful, lived in, and loved.
A happy place to call home. :)

I can see why it took so long, love the color, perfect for a house on the water!! He did good picking out your home... I love the sun room with all the windows in back off your deck, great place to start growing your plants!!
