A New View

Remember the birthday package I received from my

Dear Friend Genie

at

424 Purisima?

This lovely silk rose was laid on top of all the

tissue wrapped treasures

when I opened the box.

I wanted to show everyone

what fun thing I found to do with it.

While Hubby is on vacation this week and next,

we have lots & lots to do around this

Old House.

A couple of days ago

Sweet Hubby

&

Wonderful Son~In~Law

tore down an old shed in the backyard

in preparation for a new fence.

They left up the back wall until the fence panels arrive tomorrow.

We have to keep our precious doggies in the yard.

I really should have taken a picture of the whole shed.

It was adorable in its day.

When my daughters were little they used it as a playhouse.

Although Scott {Sweet Hubby}

grew up in the house next door,

he was uncertain when the shed was built.

When they tore up a piece of carpeting someone laid on the concrete

the date surfaced.

July 7, 1962

was scratched into the concrete.

Scott was born in September of 1960.

He has no memory of the shed not being there.

Since it is a part of his childhood history

&

 both of my daughter's childhood history

I just had to salvage a window.

It found it's new home in my upstairs office

{where I sit and blog with all of you}.

While rummaging in a closet a few days ago,

I found some strips of fabric I had sewn together years ago.

Who knows what I was originally going to do with it!

I was tickled

*pink*

when I discovered the strip fit perfectly

across the top window pane.

I know the pictures of the window are not ideal

due to the glare on the glass

but...

as I am sure you have all noticed

I am not the world's best photographer!

Hope this gives you an idea of how cute it is.

I just love the new view from this old window :~}

P.S.~ July 7th is a special date to me.

It is my Dear Mother's Birthday.

Happy Day to All of You,

xo
