Daydreams

Don’t get me wrong.  I love my life.  Right now, this very
minute.  I adore my family, and I am quite content. 

However, I do love to imagine our family a few years down the
road…when we have several more children, and home schooling is well
underway, and we’ve built our own home on several acres of land far far
away from Wal-Mart and rush hour traffic.

We want a big ol’ house, with a (wrap around) porch and a swing, land
to garden on, and run around on (and for the dogs to run around on),
with shade trees…

I want a walk in pantry to store all of the things I’ve grown and
canned. (Note to self: learn to both grow and can food). A huge dining
room table to fit our whole family, and then some. Color and art on all
the walls…big picture windows and lots of natural light.  Built
in bookshelves everywhere.  A window seat or two.  A wood
fireplace.  Etc, etc. 

Anyway, all that to say: I think this site is pretty cool.
