Virginia, Harry Potter, Cross Stitching, and pets. That's pretty much the basics of who I am, what I like.
I never did give anybody hell. I just told them the truth and they thought it was hell.

The Kitchen in A New House on a New Landscape
What a week to get to the kitchen of this house! It’s Thanksgiving in a few days, and a day spent in the kitchen putting together a huge meal for a bunch of people if you are fortunate to have fa...
The Bathroom in A New House on a New Landscape
Can you believe a mere century ago, most homes in the country had no indoor plumbing? The bathroom was an outhouse if you were lucky. I’ve seen houses which were modified to include a bathroom, a...
The Living Room in A New House on a New Landscape
I figure the first real room to visit as a guest is some sort of living area. In my old house, that was called the living room, and while it had an entrance of its own (the front door) it was rar...
Hallways in A New House on a New Landscape
Every house has a hallway. Some have several. The hallway provides a place for rooms to open onto, rather than opening onto each other. The hallway gives privacy and can take it away, too. Hallwa...
The Foyer in A New House on a New Landscape

The Back Porch in A New House on a New Landscape
When I am sitting at my computer, I look through the faux french door back door (only one door opens, the other is decoration. Alas, a stupid design if there ever was one) Today it is filled with...
Living Space in A New House on a New Landscape
I never realized how important living space really is. I find I get very agitated when there is clutter; and in my house there is clutter. I like having things neat and organized, but the other t...
Arranging the Space in A New House on a New Landscape
I have a new found like of Ariana Grande, so as I arrange my thoughts, I am blasting her music. Not sure it provokes the profound thought that something like Muse or Metallica does, but its cheer...
Remodeling in A New House on a New Landscape
I’m carefully fiddling with settings, and examining all the twists and turns of the site. It is a very clean and practical interface, which is great. I love the thought of books separating topics...
Forward in A New House on a New Landscape
Most books begin with a title page, a page of information on publishing/legal stuff, the copyright, and perhaps a dedication page which means little to the reader. Anticipated books sometimes co...
