What a great thread Lady Lee, it has been so fun imagining all your homes!
To come to my house you would have to start with a phone call or a honk at the gate to be let in. From there you would walk by the horses corrals (they will be checking you out and probably prancing around with tails up at the commotion) and 2 huge dogs would greet you. Well if they don't know you you would not make it past the gate without an escort. If I am not expecting you it will look something like this;
When you first walk in you will see a parrot in or on a large black iron cage who will be greeting you with "HELLO HELLO HELLO" to your left, a little table and chairs with the parrots boom box on it and it will probably be on playing praise music, one glider chair with a cover on it that will probably have dog toys and Dave's shoes or other personal items in it since Hiedi the rat terrier will keep his things close to her and she sleeps in the chair, a view to the room addition in progress through the sliding glass doors, the very old wood stove painted white and needing a new coat with a fire going, a crippled pidgeon in a large cage by the stove, cement floors partially painted in light pink, white walls and more dogs, moms chihuahua, and the newest member Lady dog, medium sized golden dog with black eyeliner and a black toungue that will be out in a huge smile.
Straight ahead you will see a bookshelve full of Bibles, commentaries, all kinds of sheet music, and dictionaries, next to it is hubby's warddrobe with a collection of rare dolls and antiques toys on top. Beyond that on the left is the kitchen with a table up against the wall full of boxes of cereal and organic fruit in white bowls.
To your right is a wall full of family pictures and my mothers art, a tiny little china cabinette with a few nice cups and saucers. There are some pretty plants around the room, one that is always flowering. A vase of daisies on the table. 1 or 2 keyboards leaning up against the wall, folded keyboard stands, metal box of keyboard stuff, a banjo and a guitar both in their cases.
We have 3 people living in 745 square feet. Well 3 people, 6 dogs, 2 horses, the birds..and a fish in the kitchen. During the winter the dogs all sleep indoors at night. Being a germophobe, unless I am sick in bed the floors will be very clean despite it all! The dogs are potty trained and the small ones use special pads.
