Everyone Loves a Parade

Teen1 kept me from working on the cottage today, but we did have a good day at the Band Review. What a rush to be on the street with everyone cheering!

A Proper English Cottage

I've always wanted a cozy rose-covered cottage like the ones in England...so WHY did we ever buy this place? Well the neighborhood was great, the property was large and had mature oak trees, the house had never been "renovated", and best of all, it was cheap! It didn't look like much then, but oh, did we have great ideas. And it is getting closer and closer to that cozy English cottage I always dreamed of. Please come along with me while I show how it all happened.
