News From The Homestead!

I suppose, when I write Homestead you automatically think of a frontier type home. Sprawling hills,  and  farm animals. In my case, not so much. Homestead, is the door I walk through inside our second story condo. Away from the traffic and crowds  that are near by. It's a warm and cozy feeling that envelops you the moment you step inside.  The smell of cinnamon, lilac and lemons. Coffee brewing and something good on the stove. Home is where your heart is! Homestead is where your life fills with those things that you love. Family, pets, cozy pillows, candles.  You can make any place a home if your heart is in it!

These are pics of the condo when we first moved in. Thought, I would share!

Merry Christmas Time!

Oh how I love this time of the year!  The sounds, smells and presents!  Who doesn't love presents?  This year, I decided to do my shopping on line! Between  Black Friday and Cyber Monday I was able to knock out most all my shopping!  You can't beat sitting in your pj's with a cup of hot coffee! Of course you miss the crowds, shoving and  the wonderful Christmas smells!  Who needs it? With so many wonderful candles out there you can have your very own! My personal favorite is Black Crow's Christmas Thyme!

We had a nice Christmas, despite the absence of my brother that had recently passed. I am just finishing this Christmas post, due to just not up to writing!  I did buy a flocked tree this year and love it! It makes me so happy!
