Thanks to the girls who have been praying for me and my house hunting. I looked at 11 houses yesterday and put an offer on one, the offer was excepted and I am so excited!!!! The closing is the end of July. It is a 1940 craftsman wanna-be. It is darling. 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, 1200 plus square feet, full attic, partially finished. Lots of hollyhocks, roses, hydranga, feverfew... it is so perfect! The yard is small, still need to see if I can have chickens in town, but room enough for my grandson! So, again, thanks for the prayers! God is good!
For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

Just had a thought. google- Windermere Shelton, WA. Click on the website for Jeanne Blanton. On her listings, scroll down till you see the one Angleside Area Home, the one with the picket fence. You will be able to see the outsde as well as inside. Let me know what you think!
For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

Congratulations Julia! What an adorable house! I hope the neighborhood is good, too. I know shelton pretty well, and if you need any help I have family in that area.
I love the colors they had painted the rooms :) And a raised bed for vegetables already!

SHerri, you come and we will have tea and fresh scones! Would love it.
Lizabeth, I love the colors too! I don't have to do anything major to the house, just move in. My daughter will probably want to paint her room, the blue one, but I will at least for now keep the others. The pink one will be my craft room.
I love the raised beds as well. I will make them bigger. In the picture it was hard to see, the fence behind the raised beds angles in to the carport. I will straighten the fence which will give me a bit more yard space, plus more privacy.
It is strange buying a house without my hubby, doing this on my own, but it will be an adventure and I know it will be all good in the end.
For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.
