Exposed Beams. Exposed Life.

You know I have a ceiling obsession, so here are more rooms with exposed beams. I have been collecting these images (there is more but theses are the best) for a few months now. It looks very promising that my husband and I will get to move his grandmothers house out of the city and into the country. Now when this happens I will let you all know every interesting detail, but for now it is all in the dreaming stages. My husband has his name in the hat for a job that is a golden opportunity for him. Australia, you my pretty will have to wait a little while longer but you are not out of the picture I promise. The little house has sheet rock ceilings and walls with wood floors, kinda boring for me so I plan on adding beams to the ceiling for character. You can see what I am talking about if you look at these images and imagine if they had no beams and they were just stark, plain white ceilings.
I can't belive it but this is my 200th post. Enjoy, Heidi

Here's to the two weeks of Weather Perfection.

In Texas (maybe Australia as well) there are 2 weeks of weather perfection in the Spring and then in the fall. We are having that now, Hallelujah!!!!
Here are a few more songs I never tire of hearing.
Hope you all have a perfect weekend. Heidi



Sorry I don't have the origin of any of these images. Shame on me. Tell me if you know.

Ribbons and Trophies

I am in love with this image. Two of my favorite things, ribbons and trophies. I guess because it feels good to be a winner and the're pretty. Enjoy, Heidi

Me and my Handsome Men.

I thought it was time to change my profile picture since it is from 7 years ago. I don't take pictures of myself, there is something that feels conceited about it. I need to do it more for the sake of my son. The image that I am using is from my brother's wedding that was this past Feb. The images below are also from his wedding. They were taken by the most talented photographer in the area, Kathlyn Dragna. I used Photoshop to turn them black and white and to delete my angry eleven wrinkles between my eyes. Who needs Botox?
You can see more wedding pics if you click on weddings and then wedding tw. Enjoy, Heidi

Meet Romeo.

We had a great weekend, almost exactly the way I imagined it. My acid reflux let me know that I have to lay off the vino and my little boy learned not to immediately stuff a marshmallow in his mouth just after he blew the flames off of it. Heartburn and burnt lips, other than that it was so far the best Halloween we have ever had. Here is our cat Romeo posing next to an arrangement I did on Saturday. Enjoy, Heidi

Autumn Weekend.

I am looking forward to some rest and relaxation this weekend. Carving pumpkins, trick or treating and roasting marshmallows over an open fire. Wine and cheese are waiting for me too in the kitchen. Here are the latest songs I have added to the ipod . Enjoy, Heidi
