I am truly sorry for the length of time between this and the last podcast.  Penny and I have been so busy with "life" stuff.  I hope that your summer was as wonderful as ours, we are looking forward to a fantastic Fall season.  The podcast we have for you this time speaks of the kitchen and its role as the hub of the house.  Have you ever noticed how guests, friends and family tend to congregate in the kitchen during parties and gatherings?  We do it unconsciou...more

Our Old Home  Okay, today I am ready to pull my hair out.  We are fortunate to have sold our home quickly and thankful that we have this home with a relative while preparing to move to NC.  Now, this was an arrangement - we would help her fix up her home so she could sell it quicker.  But I have found that living with other people can make you slowly loose your  mind.  Did I say slowly?  Let me rephrase that: AHHHHHHH.  I love this person, she is kind and...more

    Look at this bedroom.  I can tell you right now that there isn't a lot of action going on there unless it's a bachelor pad.  But it looks like one of those rooms you see in a vacation condos.  It is true that upon entering the master bedroom it should whisper. That means it should not have: a weeks worth of laundry waiting to be put away, books scattered on the floor and a glass of milk that has been there way to long.  Upon entering, we should almost...more
