Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Good Wednesday Morning Folks

#1 - LOCATION - It’s at the end of a dead end street. We have so much privacy, it’s great! We can sit on our front porch without anyone knowing - it’s great! A wonderful & quiet place to read.

#2 - ITS A QUAD LEVEL HOUSE - I always wanted a quad level house. It’s starting to be difficult for me, with my bad knees that need replacing and my MIL & Dad with mobility issues. When you’re on the main level you have to use stairs to use a bathroom, which is why my MIL & Dad struggle in this house. Sadly, not sure how many more holidays they’ll be able to join us because of it. We’ll need to start going to them.

#3 - MEDIUM OAK CABINETS, BANNISTERS, MANTEL AND OTHER WOODWORK - I love medium oak. It’s not in style anymore or trendy, but I don’t care - I love it! Medium Oak is such a warm and homey wood. I don’t understand why it gets such a bad rap

1. Laundry room -- no more hanging clothes on a clothesline outside;
2. Construction -- we were able to add items to our home when we built it -- banisters on both side of the stairs, built with 2x6's instead of 2x4's, added insulation, grab bars in the bathrooms, converted one of the garage spaces to a bedroom and bath, etc.
3. Location -- I like that we are not in the middle of town.

1. Old, so built to last with local timber.
2. Family property, we are 3rd generation to live here.
3. Location, lots of space, fresh air, vegetation and wildlife - PEACEFUL.
4. Big rooms and windows for lots of light.
5. Wraparound porch.

I just feel blessed when I am home. It's old, needs a lot of work and money, and not designed for modern living, but I LOVE IT!
