Though I have greatly reduced the quality of these photos to expedite loading time, you still need a little patience . How about a joke while you wait? *smile*

 

I promise, from this point on, the photographs are real. *smile*

 

 

The House

The picture above, done all in humor, does have some significance , in that, when we finished closing on the house and it finally became ours, the reality of all the work that had to be done overwhelmed us. There were times when we felt as if we were drowning...from all the work and the expense. The house was VERY run down. There was virtually no landscaping, there were no gardens. It was a neglected house...but we saw potential.

Here are some before and after pictures....
