Home and Us

  We went out the other day and made a few pictures of the lake where we live. It's a private community. It is also gated, which I don't like, but I don't have any choice about that. All in all I do really like it here. We have been here for about 30 plus years, and it's home now for sure. Years ago we bought a lot here and decided to build us something to live in, which we did and it has evolved  over time into a pretty comfortable place. We bought some more lots around us, so we wouldn't get crowed by neighbors to close, and that is nice. It gives you room to breathe and lots of green empty spaces that make home more peaceful and quiet. I think a lot of people ( by today's standards ) would find the house lacking in a few conveniences, like central heat and air conditioning, but we have plenty of heat and air conditioners to keep us comfortable enough. Here is a  picture of me and my husband bobby,  and our dogs, Tootie and Fruity. I have always shied away from getting my picture taken, but why worry about it now. I told my husband to just take a picture of me at my worst. My shirt is on inside out. HaHa   In the weeks to come, I thought I would share some pictures of  our house and us. I have enjoyed seeing other folks pictures of their homes and them doing various things, so I thought I might do that too. The lake is beautiful and it is nice to be near so much water to enjoy.

  1. Martha, The lake is beautiful, isn't it great to live near water. So peaceful and you probably have gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. It nice to see photos of you, Bobby and the doggies. It makes having one of your dolls even more special and personal. Looking forward to seeing more of your place. Maybe I will get the nerve to post a recent photo of myself!!

  2. You just don't know how happy this post has made me, Martha. You just really don't. I finally have a face to put with the name.

    And oh my goodness--what an incredible place you live in. Your puppies are so sweet...interesting tongue storage for that one on your left. :~P

  3. I feel a little nervous meeting you like this for the first time! You posted a picture once of yourself when you were a girl...beautiful then and beautiful now, inside and out! And, wow on a home by the lake. What a great place to go to get away, once in a while, from making dolls! lol

  4. Hey Martha, we have the same exact hair color and style so we have something else in common besides making dolls. Living near the water is very peaceful I agree and your place sounds wonderful, thank you for sharing.
