...the place I like to be most. After we married in 1994, we found that my house on Maplewood just wouldn't hold all our stuff. So we bought this house in 1996. Now it's completely full of our stuff. We figure if we buy a bigger house, we'll just fill it up with stuff too. So I guess we'll stay here. Anyway, Sophie would never forgive us if we moved her away from her neighborhood with all her friends.
I took this photo back in the spring when things were still cool and green instead of hot and brown as they are now. We have broken the record here, set in nineteen-twenty-something, for the most consecutive days over 100 degrees--13, I think they said. Actually we've had more 100+ days than that; but one day, it only got to 99, so that broke the streak.Today it's supposed to be 105.

You have such a pretty home!!
That hot weather you are having sounds terrible. I hope it cools down for you soon. I am enjoying your A - Z meme :))

Hey Susan! Glad you got some *ugly* clodhoppers to help your feet. I got Adidas about a week ago and they really do help. I even wear them in the house, which is very hard since I'm a barefoot kind of girl.
Your home is gorgeous, very peaceful and cozy. We passed through your town late yesterday afternoon, funny that several of my innernet friends live along our route from Texas to North Carolina.
We made it to my parents house this morning around 4. Whew, it was a drive! Puppy girl took issue with being parked outside so we had to finally bring her in to sleep on our bed around 6am, she was barking at a neighbor's rooster! Hopefully tonight will go better.
Still not sure when I'll update my blog, probably when we get home.

Love your home - it looks so peaceful and relaxing. Also, I am enjoying your blog. Found you on the ripple along site and was excited to see some one else from the state of Alabama there. I am from Montgomery but recently moved across the county line to the less hectic area of the Redland community near Wetumpka. I too am working on a ripple - since January and am not making a lot of prgress. Am using the Soft Waves pattern from Jan Eaton's 200 ripple stitch book. I really like your Vanna ripple and can't believe you completed it in 10 days! I am in awe!
