Serendipity ~ a natural gift for making useful discoveries by accident
aka... "This Lady's Home Journal" 
When we purchased our 105 year-old house we thought a thorough cosmetic overhaul was all it needed. We have since learned that houses built in 1900 need a little more TLC than that.
It has been our experience that most of our projects are delightful accidents, thus the arrival at naming this site. We're not restoring, but face-lifting. With a poorly-executed country theme prevalent throughout, we've begun with the largest project, the kitchen. Striving for an Olde World style, we're making progress... albeit a snails pace. It is our hope that you enjoy watching our progress as it unfolds.

I think I've lost my marbles. The Lord had really been working on my heart over the course of the past month with regard to ... well... this ~
"Emma"
It's a girl! Five pounds, 8 ounces!

She's a Shepherd/Lab/Boxer mix. Her coloring is Shepherd, her build is Lab, and the only part I can find on her that's boxer are the wrinkles on her nose! She is absolutely adorable and just the best behaved little thing. Not quite eight weeks old, she's already using the outdoor facilities more than the inside ones. I never knew, however, that puppies don't sleep through the night!! It's worse than when my own kids were this age! Oy!!
