FRIDAY'S GRATITUDE: THIS NOT-SO-BIG HOUSE


When one looks at the photo at the top of my side bar over there, it might appear as if this self-professed "hippie" is living awfully large up there on the side of her hill, and you'd be right, but not for the reasons you might have imagined.   Wanna take a tour of our house?

See that photo above?  Well, picture yourself standing where I am standing with my camera.  Now walk straight ahead, through the kitchen, until you run into the bed.  Did you enjoy your tour?  The only thing you missed was the small bathroom and two shallow closets with folding doors, that are tucked behind the refrigerator and cabinets there on your left.

In truth though, despite these relatively small living quarters, we are living large up here.  We've got great porches, a big stone terrace, a nice open garage with a big utility room attached, and such beautiful views out every window that I never feel cramped or closed in.  Oh yeah, and there's that space downstairs.  I just love it when some repairman or other comes to the house, and I tell him that the equipment is downstairs.  It always cracks me up, to see the look on their face, when we have to turn around and head back out the front door to get there!  Anyhoo, if we were up north, you'd probably call that space a walk-out basement, but we don't have basements in Texas, so we just call it The Man Cave.

Well, thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed the tour.  Think you can find your way back to the door?
