A Labor of Love

I know this sweet little place

in this sweet little town

just oozing with cuteness.

It is the home of some of our best friends

who are our directors of youth.

You are welcome here anytime, 

day or night, and you will feel right at home.

The home was built with old lumber

by the man of the house and his father in law

before the daughter became his bride.

It was definitely a labor of love. 

The chimney stood alone on an old piece of land

and was taken down and rebuilt brick by brick.

Each small detail has some significance.  

The cross was made by an uncle. 

.

A closer look at the front porch, 

and you'll see the beauty in the old wood.

You will be welcome to rock for hours

or chat with friends in the Adirondack chairs

as long as you'd like.

I prefer the swing.

You may want to grab a seat on the deck, 

or enjoy the best seat in the house, 

the old glider.

The brick path is open-ended

and everyone is welcome. 

Yes, the place is oozing with hospitality, 

and the porch light is always on.

I left an hour and a-half ago

and they were still going strong.

The kids are home for the summer 

so the place will be open as long as they want to stay.

I will share fun, food, and the tour of their home 

in my next posts.
