To day I want to share a small, but very important part of my world — our home in the Glade. It’s not a very big or fancy house, but we sure do like it.
We saw the house for the first time in August, 2002. The picture below shows us what sold us that first time — the great room. If you click to make the picture bigger you’ll see that there is a fireplace (which gets a lot of use in cool weather) and the doors opening out onto the wrap-around back deck. There is a third patio door to the right of the pictures. The three doors provide wonderful ventilation in the summer.
The picture below shows the front of the house on the day we closed. We were so excited — he had a retirement home! We used the house as a weekend hideaway until July, 2003, when we moved up here full time.
Since then, we’ve made some changes — mostly on the outside of the house. This next picture was taken this year, and shows some of the changes we’ve made. As you can see, we’ve added a flagpole, three circular flower beds (only two are visible) and the rose beds on either side of the driveway.
This last picture is of the larger of the two rose beds. I’ve included it because I like roses and because I am already thinking about Spring (don’t tell Betsy!).
I hope you enjoyed the tour of my little corner of the world. To see more of the world, click HERE or on the logo below.
