Home Life – Making That House a Home
4 years ago, we put our house on the market and moved to the country. Well, when I say country – I mean, septic systems, a few acres and a small community. Fortunately, we are within an hours drive of Dallas and have a Starbucks about 3 miles down the road.
We found a yellow farmhouse that I had driven by all of my life and just happened to be on the market when our house sold. It was a match! Or so I thought. Over the last few years, we have poured time and money into making this house a home. It’s a continual work in progress.
