Cece
30 June 2008
That is Cece (or Cecelia Rose) who was born on Saturday afternoon after a rather epic labor and birth...but everyone is doing fine, at home now, nursing like a little champ and putting on a few pounds....she was a lightweight. Only 6#15 oz, little peanut.
I have taken 800,000 pics and some of them are up at my flickr acct......nodding towards the left hand column in stead of linking to them....because i'm lazy like that.

my porch
27 June 2008, and woohoo, Mrs G likes me, she really likes me!
Hands down my favorite room in the house is my porch, although technically it is not the heart of the house (that would always have to be the kitchen which I also love). I think the reason I love the porch so much is over the past 16 years we have spent a few (hundred) quality hours sitting and drinking and visiting with friends into the wee hours of the night.
The first meal on the porch is a spring right of passage we look for every year.....and we eat out here most nights into Oct. Generally the porch "closes" for the season right after we carve pumpkins (tile floor allows for hosing off the mess, or closing the door and ignoring ;-)
And then a few times of year we move the round table, haul in a keg and throw a party for a few friends. or 80. Sometimes they never leave .
And then at other times I'll ask a few friends to donate things for a charity rummage sale and then this happens.
But I love my porch in all its forms, but I love it the most in the spring when I've opened the house, hosed off the winter grime and I sit down amidst the treasures from friends , and things I've gathered along the way that I haven't enjoyed since the beginning of winter. Which is MN is a VERY Long time. ahem.
Come back to visit again and I will share my kitchen, and, well, basically my whole house, because while it is small and quirky like a nearly 100 year old house can be I love it...especially sharing it with friends over a beer. or 12.

I hopped online to quickly throw out a pic or two of my beloved porch for Mrs G's house show today but I see I failed to make the cut on her link list. I still might get around to it, but since the hour is late and I can't find any pictures on this computer it will have to wait until tomorrow.
You ought to know though that I considered posting pictures from the Pillsbury Estate and passing them off as my own....but since the post before this one was of Miranda's bedroom I doubt anyone would fall for it.
