Iโ€™m beyond thrilled my parents will meet their great-grandkids. After 2 1/2 years there will be lots of joy around THE Family Table when our Air Force men, their wives, and precious babies gather together. My home is here. And although they were both raised in Missouri, they have established their own homes with their families, and thatโ€™s what home is~family. Itโ€™s not a place. Itโ€™s the people. Family is everything. โค๏ธ

Oh, the joy to see a highchair!
Momโ€™s rocker, sonsโ€™ blankets, and a pup
Table made by my Uncle O.J. when the boys were small.
Books for Grammy K and grandkids…and a pup.

Have faith ๐Ÿ’š

  4. What a sweet and welcoming place to gather. It looks like youโ€™ve settled in nicely. Your words are filled with tenderness and love, which is as it should be where our families are concerned.

    1. Thank you, Kathy, for your precious words. The last 5 months of making a new home seems the most gratifying knowing family will visit. Small space overtaken with great love is perfect. You are always so kind and thoughtful in your words. I hope you and Paul are well. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿค—โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

  5. Opening your house and your heart to your family and the world is an exceptional invitation
    dear Karla. Being unique like you are, means all anyone sees is fascinating and your home
    is absolutely charming!
    Enjoy a peaceful day my friend, Eddie

    1. Eddie, how kind and thoughtful! When I made โ€œhomeโ€, I wanted my full self to show in all that is around me. Thank you for the compliments. The RV wasnโ€™t a lot to decorate. And being able to host friends and family has been a long time coming again. It used to be a highlight of my life. Iโ€™ll cherish every opportunity! I always appreciate your support and kindness. Peace and blessings to you! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿค
