661 Boundary Street --- my old home

When K and I were looking for a house in Birmingham I know in our hearts we wanted a bungalow that had the look and feel of the houses we lived in when we went to college at Montevallo. This is mine -- it is a little more run down than when we lived there, butt he charm and signature bungalow features are still very much alive. If I ever had the means I would buy this house and restore it. I will always love it like a friend.

Of all three houses, I like this one best, It has a very cozy looking front porch....

I hate a house that does not have a grand and cozy front porch....

When I get old, I want to be the old guy sitting rocking in a rocking chair pecking away at his laptop computer....the modern day version of the old guy sitting on his porch rocking an writing his memoirs in a journal or diary....

I agree 100% with you Mojo. I feel the same the way.We spent many hours on this porch playing guitar and talking and looking out at the world. It's all about a front porch to me as far as houses go.

This house is in Montevallo Lee Ann.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today.

This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

Comfort zones

I am a grown person I know, but I still believe in concept of security blankets especially in times of stress. During 9/11 it was my new kittens from the humane society that I held and loved on while soaking in the reality of those hard moments that begin four years ago today. This week it has really helped to post blog entries and wear my new kangol visor, that already looks like it is 10 years old, while absorbing the news from Louisiana. I know that is weird, especially since I am woman. I have heard criticism from friends and family alike about how girls shouldn't wear caps my entire life, but it never has and never will stop me. It keeps overhead light glare out of my eyes, hides less than presentable hair and for some reason, provides me with a sense of comfort and relaxation and always has. When I was a kid, I wouldn't wear my team cap from softball until the day of the game. There was something sacred and ceremonial about the 'team cap' and that magic carries o...
