I'm a little behind on my reading, so I was just catching up on your blog posts . . . your blog is always so fresh and fun! Love, love, love your sense of romantic whimsy in all you touch throughout your casa -- and outside, too! I must know about how you ended up in Grandma Rhoda's house! Did she leave it to you? Did you buy it? Tell us the story! (And knowing what you've changed and left the same would make a great post, sista! Tell us! Tell us!)

Lisa, I am so glad you are back safe and sound. So...sorry about the cold. A cold in summer is no fun. Take care of yourself and get some rest. Email me when you get a chance and tell me all about your new grandbaby and your visit, who by the way is adorable.
