Living Room: {Before & Almost After}

Prior to owning this home, I had not an ounce of decorating sense (some of you may argue that I still don’t quite get it). But, we think we’ve got the basic pieces now and just have to chose paint colors and seasonal decorations. I’m so excited to show you all our living room with real furniture in it!!

Back to Life: {After New Mexico}

Mr. E and I just returned and settled back in to our routine after a wonderful road trip to New Mexico.  We had a wonderful time, and I even managed to take “a few” photos of the culture and cute little houses!

The Southwest has the most incredible sunrises!  This photo was just outside of OK City.  We love our Indiana sunrises, and we felt right at home here!

I hope you enjoy the culture, arts, nature, and history of new places like me! Most of the photos here were taken in Truth or Consequences (aka Hot Springs & T or C.  And yes, it’s named after the old game show), Hillsboro, Hatch, and Old Towne Albuquerque.
