Pictures.
Well, if grad school doesn't work out, I think I'll just make a living cleaning houses. I enjoy waking up in the morning, putting on grubby clothes, tying my hair back in a bandana, and setting to work. Even though the project is rather mindless, the physical work feels good and it's fun to embrace the splinters, the blisters, the dust and the dirt. The mornings have been beautiful so I'm able to open all the downstairs windows and as long as I have my music and a morning coffee break, I can work happily all day. But soon, I'll be back to my normal life of sitting for hours reading and studying.
The windows are probably my favorite thing about this house. Besides the fact that they open, there are just so many of them! (Seven just in the living/dining room alone.) And notice the gigantic tree in our front yard. My neighborhood is so green.
#1: My curtain rods. I hung these by myself, listening to Frank Sinatra and using lots of manly tools.
#2: My flower boxes. There are two on either side of the front door under the windowsill. I bought and planted these mums all by myself yesterday. I had no idea what I was doing, but that didn't stop me. They might be dead tomorrow, but they sure are lovely today.
#3: My Texas piece. This was a gift from t he wonderful Mr. and Mrs. Walt Ford. I dug a nice deep hole in my wall to hang this very important piece of home. It's right next to my bedroom door. So perfect. Thanks, you two!
Here are a few pics-
[I can't get the formatting to work correctly, but I don't care enough to keep fooling with it, so please forgive the mess.]
Lunch break in the living room on move-in day. (Not a very good picture of anyone. Sorry, guys.)
This is the Student Union building on the middle of campus. It has an old hotel inside, so that's where we stayed.
This is how you operate our old electric stove. It's pretty awesome.
Living room and dining room. I think this picture makes it look a bit smaller than it really is. Front door on the left; bathroom, kitchen, staircase and Sarah's room on the right. (Gran-O, look how pretty my downstairs floors turned out!)
THINGS I'M PROUD OF:
#1: My curtain rods. I hung these by myself, listening to Frank Sinatra and using lots of manly tools.
More later.
Lots of love,

Planter boxes are sweet. You should rotate some kind of flower through that box all year.
Great to see the stove, too. Did that water ever boil?

it looks so lovable! I'm kind of jealous that Mom, Granddaddy and Gran-O got to see it already, but I hope my time will come. have you been cooking much?
