Y’all Come In

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Family, Sunshine Cottage

Hello sweet readers. Thank you for your constant kindness and encouragement. Without a doubt I have the best readers in blog land. Many precious friendships have been established through Everyday Living.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119:105‬ ‭

I am excited to invite you inside the Sunshine Cottage. 

The cottage was built for me to play with my “Little Princesses” and we have already been playing and playing. Before there was furniture in the cottage, Ella Mae and I had a tea party on the floor. We plan to have many, many more…you will be invited, I am sure! Last Friday night, Ella Mae and I slept on a blow up mattress on the floor. She was so excited, and best of all, I wasn’t even sore the next day. When the cottage was being built, I never guessed that I would be sleeping in it. If Butch misbehaves, I am sending him out there. It is also a fun place for me to decorate with dishes, share flower arrangements, and who knows what else! 

If you missed seeing the outside of the cottage, you can see it here. I won’t repeat myself with the specifics.

The French doors are antique with beveled glass. They had been sitting in RM’s workshop for at least forty years. I am still working on the glass panes with a single edge razor blade to remove paint and stain that has been on them for half a century!READ MORE

“The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭145:8-9‬ ‭

Sometimes we are greeted by fog instead of the sun. Kinda makes you wish you could sleep in!

 

Not foggy on the Coosa River on this particular morning so why not try a little fishing! Thanks Appalachian Digital Media for a birds eye view.READ MORE

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4:11‬ ‭

Our mornings last week were not very sunny and sometimes wet. No complaints however as we consider and pray for our neighbors to the west who have suffered greatly with a powerful hurricane. 

A man-made path but still natural and very inviting. READ MORE
