I know! Saturday I told you we bought another house. I say We-- because, well-- The Honey said it was fine with him and he drove me - so he had a part in it. I just love that man!
I've kept you all in suspense long enough!
I told you that on Wednesday, I was out and about shopping for my doll house.
Well, Thursday…I was at home cruising CRAIG’S LIST.
YES! his long lovely list. Hmmmm.
Can be dangerous.
I found this.
See that? That’s from my iphone. I had to take a picture. Because I could not get this house out of my head!!!
You know, I work on my little doll house with my grand daughter, Bree?
Well, I have TWO little grand daughters. More grand sons than you can shake a stick at…but 2 little grand daughters. So naturally, another house was in order.
$10 bucks.
10! Glorious... T-E-N !!!!
I told Honey about it. And then I dreamed about it… Finally, he asks me “did you call about the house? You need to call about it and ask if she’ll hold it until Saturday."" Music to my ears!
$10 bucks and a 2 hour drive. But what else is a retired couple going to do on a beautiful Saturday morning right?
The owner was supposed to send me the measurements. She did not.
Eh, how big could a doll house be?
Uh…too big for the trunk. (if you noticed the CL photo…it was in the back of a mini van)
So naturally I thought it would fit in my trunk. TOO BIG.
Too big for the back seat.
I drove 2 hours and just paid the lady $10 measly little dollars this thing HAS TO GO IN MY CAR!
See T.H. with his pocket knife in hand?
DisMantled the top floor and roof; with surgical precision!
Shoved it in the car.
Hauled House.
I call this one “House and Home” it’s sitting on a table in my kitchen right now. I’m smiling. :)
So you see this house… has to have the roof put back on and then we can start on all the other issues.
IT IS A FIXER UPPER!
I seem to drawn to fixer uppers. But that is more than half the fun!
A Pair of houses. My grand daughters and Myself.
Fun times ahead.
This is going to be so much fun!!!
…Til next time, be blessed.
But seek first His kingdom and His Righteousness and all these other things will be added. ~Matthew 6:33
