Hello again, and thank you for reading my blog.  We have been preparing to move to our new home soon, date still unknown.  On my last post, I mentioned that we moved the big dinning room set to the new house.  This room you’re looking at right now, was a blank slate.  All of this was in a second dining room.  Our family is so large that when we have gatherings, I’ve had more than 50 people here at a time.  This is a two story house, so needless to say, a lot will be gathering downstairs as well.

So, you might be asking yourself, why did she move all that stuff, to a different room?  Well, it’s because we are not selling this house.  We are going to rent this house out for short term rentals.  Times like, the FLW, War Eagle Crafts weekends, summer, you get the idea.

Ok, now that the move of the furniture is done, the question is, what to put in there.  I decided to put Bryans Mothers pottery she has made me on display for all to see.  Might even get her a few commission pieces.  This cabinet is all but a few pieces, full of pottery that she has made us through the years.  It is beautiful.

The pictures above are some of my favorite pieces.  I never realized how many things she has given us over the years, until they are all in one place.  Just beautiful, made with love.

This reminds me of what it must look like, if only you could step back and look at all the little things, we do for others.  If we could, you would see a beautiful site like what’s in the cabinet.  That’s how our father above sees us, with total clarity.

Which brings me back to the title.  Sometimes, we don’t realize what we have, but he does!  We can rest in that.  He’s got this, in this day of uncertainty, He’s got this.  So, go out and make it your best day ever…

Red door!  Well, the Internet said that a red door is both bold and inviting.  What do you think?

I just love that Bryan decided to do it himself, LOL.  His many talents as forward thinker, inventor, business man, pilot, and many more, but painter, well, I think we should leave some things to the experts.  It gave him fits.  It will be fine, and I love it, but it’s about 50/50 on the likes and dislikes.

It truly doesn’t matter though, because I just love that he wanted to do it himself.  If you know Bryan, that’s just the kind of guy he is.  He could have paid to have it done, and of course McKenna’s response was “Great looking door, Grandma.”

Ok, so April, my lovely daughter, may have been right about the red door making the wallpaper in the entry way look pink, when the door is open.  I hate it when she’s right, and has to make sure everyone knows about it.

We moved the dinning room set this weekend to the new house.  It left a big whole in our current house, so now I am of course, messed up for Thanksgiving, not sure which house we will be in by then.

Moving is very stressful for me since as kids we moved every 2 years. Yuck!  Even though this seems like a move up, I really love my current house and am conflicted.  I even told him at one point, you can live in that house and I’ll stay here.  That didn’t go over very well, and I was just kidding.  This is the longest I have ever lived anywhere.  I’m glad we are staying on the same road, but at the end with a beautiful view, a swimming pool, and a red door!
