Greetings!
Hi, I'm Mary, and I'm happy you stopped by my blog!
My Co-Adventurer
is Albert, our golden retriever. He's my constant companion and he always keeps me moving and laughing.
Fun Facts
My husband and I own a small lake cottage near Kentucky Lake, and one of our favorite things to do is to get out on the water in our boat and take photo's of wildlife.
Another fun hobby is painting still life's with acrylics.
Our Full Time Home
The Spanish-flavored Sears Alhambra was a big hit for Sears and was probably one of their top ten favorite kit homes. It was practical, spacious, thoughtfully designed and had plenty of windows. The only downside of the Alhambra was the dormer windows. The spot just behind the dormers was often the source of troublesome and persistent leaks. As you’ll see in a few extreme cases, some people “solved” the problem by removing the dormer window!
Others simply installed a cricket.
No doubt, the Alhambra was a pretty house with a distinctive Spanish flair and with a splash ofmission style. If you take away the fancy accouterments, you’ll see it’s little more than a classic American foursquare.
Enjoy the photos! (Read All Things Alhambra, Part I here.)
I feature both homes on this blog.
why i blog
I blog because it's my creative place to share and document projects, art, gardening or whatever I'm into at the moment. It's also a great incentive for me to actually complete projects that I've started.
