COTTAGE KITCHEN

In a well-furnished kitchen there are not only crystal goblets and silver platters, but waste cans and compost buckets---some containers used to serve fine meals, others to take out the garbage.
Become the kind of container God can use to present any and every kind of gift to his guests for their blessing.
" You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." Psalm 23:5

MASTER BEDROOM

We finally decided on this set. The mattress was delivered a few days later

Here is where the red TV cabinet went and is waiting for a new flat screen. It has an old TV in it now. The chair is from a yard sale and I am not sure yet what I will do with it.
I have been thinking of this bedding but not sure if it goes with the decor of the room so I am planning a trip to the store to see if they have it and I can decide then. We also have a list of things still needed. Chair and Ottomen for the corner by the window, Window treatments after I get the bedding so they don't clash, lamps, a bookshelf or secretary with small chair for the otherside of the window, a small side table to go next to the chair under the window and on the opposite wall I am putting a fireplace . I have a little electric parlor stove now but want to put in a real looking electric fireplace. I can't wait to finish it. I have been so busy with the grandkids all the decorating has been put on hold for awhile but it should be finish by the end of the year.

DAYTRIP TO NEW ULM, MINNESOTA

New Ulm is about 2 and 1/2 hours South from where we live. Storms were suppose to come in later in the afternoon but we went anyway. It turned out to be nice all morning. Here is a GERMAN resturant but we didn't eat here, we were thinking of comming back here but I thought the food might be to heavy for a day of walking around. 
 This was downtown main street where most of the good shopping was. The movieNEW IN TOWN was filmed here
 The buildings were so interesting. They had so much character

SVEN AND OLE'S BOOKSTORE
