We're finding so many wonderful memories as we pack up and...so much trash, too!<br /><br />I must ask, where is the chateau that you put at the end blog? We have an illustration of a chateau just like that and have been searching France to find it!<br /><br />Cheers!Betsy (zen-mama.com)http://www.zen-mama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-62550024404706008972010-01-29T00:06:58.934-05:002010-01-29T00:06:58.934-05:00I really like this idea.

We have to wait until the finish the interior repairs.<br /><br />I think we're about three weeks away. We've already started planning. The planning has made it easier to live in the chaos for these last weeks.<br /><br />And it's lovely to have access to the natural light again!Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-34849817612632838672010-01-28T22:18:04.277-05:002010-01-28T22:18:04.277-05:00Your idea astonishes me. Love, love, love it.!! ...Your idea astonishes me. Love, love, love it.!! I love the concept that a room should be thought of as an environment, not a look. I am going to incorporate that idea into my life immediately, and give rooms meaning just like you did. <br /><br />Regarding death, my parents, both of whom are deceased, had eleven children. I've lost 6 siblings, but the one death that I'm having the most trying time with is my sister Sondra's. It just devasted me -- I'm still angry with God about that one. She was my eldest sister. She treated me like I was her child (most older sibling do) <br /><br />Yes! Unclutter your life. I clear, get rid of, throw away often, so I don't feel as if my life is bogged down. I enjoy minimalist living. <br /><br />Also, Winter is a lovely season -- my favorite. So throw back those curtains and enjoy the view (snowflakes). Remember, my name is Mimi, too.bobbybegood1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01471708916636552589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-44947577098853092612010-01-28T21:43:27.278-05:002010-01-28T21:43:27.278-05:00The room looks so warm and inviting!
