Building Houses

          I was going to write another entry before this one but I just thought this one felt right for now because of things going on in my life and around me right now. I do have a story to tell and some of it I will admit might be made up but someday I hope it happens.  It is part of my dream and heart's desires. I titled this entry "Building Houses" because that is what has been going on around me lately with everyone I know. A friend of mine got married and they built a house, my dad finish the basement downstairs in their house, a friend of mine is remodeling her house a year after her husband passed away, and last and not least a friend of mine is starting with their house and land from the ground up.
          The first two that I said really doesn't matter that much to me because I have no purpose or life in those houses. I mean I did get to help my dad some on the house but I don't and never lived in it. I guess it is special because I got to spend time with my dad and he taught me more about building houses and I actually didn't mind learning this time. It would mean a lot more if it was a house he was remodeling or that I was going to live in but it's not. It is more of the memories made with my dad and he got done with it at the start of December.
          The last two, you could say, mean the world to me difanantly the one that my friend is remodeling after her husband passed away because that is my farm house and always will be. I grew up there and love it still. Spent time in the (my) blue room. Time by that fireplace. Time on the floor playing. Sat at the same exact tables and chairs. Kitchen still looks the same. Not much has changed but after my friend's husband passed she changed everything and I don't blame her because it is hers now and it was getting pretty old.
         She started remodeling it in January. My blue room might be changed to purple with some more decorations up in it. The big scenic wallpaper is taken down. I will always remember they had a forest looking wallpaper in their bedroom and their bed facing it. Then when you walk in the front door, there was this forest in the Fall looking wall paper. It is funny the only thing that still looks the same and probably will sense it was always hers even when her husband was alive, is her sewing room. Of course, you can't see the walls to repaint it or anything like that anyways because of all the cabinets of material and fabric she has. She loves to sew. There is a house that was built for me and that I lived it the first 4 years of my life and will always love. I started my life there. It might be remodeled but it is still a home.
           Now about my other friend's house that I am following along with. My friend brought this house in July of last year and it's not only a house but land too. My friend is preparing and fixing and making all things new again in that area. My friend is planting food plots non stop, cutting down trees for good reasons, and just trying to make it more for the deer and other animals. My friend's dream is to make it into a place where people can spend time on it to hunt and play. Maybe sort of like a ranch, in a way. On that land, there was this house that was not done up at all so my friend has decided to take that project on and finish it by self. It is so hard for me not to give him suggestions unless he asks everyone for it but I have to say it is look pretty dang good if I can say so.
           My friend is working on the inside and has some great ideas for it. My friend didn't start working on it til about middle to late December or early January if remember right. Then he will need to work on the outside of it. It is so pretty inside. The walls are pine wood mostly but the bathroom has some cedar wood in it. Of course, my friend is going to put antler lights up hanging from the ceiling and then deer on the wall and maybe some turkeys. It has a little cute, rock fireplace that came with it.
            I know I'm not suppose to be thinking this but I am a women so please when you read this don't take it the wrong way. It is neat how my older friend is remodeling her house about the same time that my other friend is building one. It is kind of like out with the old and in with the new for me but then again I would never go out with the old because that is my house too. It is kind of another example, might be a strange one, on how God's timing is prefect in some ways. To let people know too, it is just life lesson for me personally and I am taking it like that and nothing else is coming from this. I say that with all my heart.
