Por muito tempo esse foi meu maior sonho. Até que compramos nossa casa, ela tinha passado por um furação e sobrou pouca coisa. Por isso conseguimos comprar. Foi um preço bem baixo e até hoje estamos arrumando a casa. Ainda falta muita coisa para se fazer ainda. Mas eu acho minha casa a mais linda do mundo.<br />Tenha uma ótima semana.<br /> Anajá Schmitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04522728754666321492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-70671364601102066412013-03-01T09:05:24.638-06:002013-03-01T09:05:24.638-06:00I just found your blog and absolutely LOVE your ho...I just found your blog and absolutely LOVE your home.

These houses are such a treasure in an area where ranch style houses prevail. I live in a ranch style and am working so hard to give it charm like your house!

He left me and 7 children. I had been a stay at home mom all those years. Six of my children were still home, the youngest being 6. I didn't know how I was going to go on living. I cried for a solid year. I loved gardening and it became too much. I quit cold turkey. Seven years later I remarried and we built a home in a small town on a farm. My number 4 child (daughter) graduated from college and came back home for a bit. We were outside one day and she said "let's put in a garden, Mom". I told her I had been toying with the idea so she called up her siblings and had everyone come over the day after Mother's Day and my children dug, hoed and planted me a garden that is now called The Mother's Day Garden. It brought me back to life. My yard is now full of gardens with roses and all other flowers. Horrible, horrible things can happen to us. It's interesting to see what brings us back to life. Like your home.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894477546740413982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-69744203058212228372012-02-09T17:18:51.818-06:002012-02-09T17:18:51.818-06:00hi, lovely story, my dad too has passed away, and ...hi, lovely story, my dad too has passed away, and he was very special too, but your dad has found you your house, and is with you every little step of your making it yours, thank you for sharing your story, i love american houses, theresa from scotlandTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157371375982880503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-82224902608131254422012-01-09T07:30:05.657-06:002012-01-09T07:30:05.657-06:00Wow, what a difference!!Wow, what a difference!!Linda Hartonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07976972573381848998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-45777720593610393942011-11-08T15:04:47.709-06:002011-11-08T15:04:47.709-06:00Susan -

My mom has been gone for 6 years and there are several times that something good has happened and I know she helped in some way.

Soon as I saw your house I knew that it had to be in OKC. I live in Edmond and just love to drive around looking at all the old homes. Yours is just amazing!<br /><br />My dad lives near Austin and has been redoing a large American 4square home for the last five years. He's almost finished. When he's here we love to go on the home tours and he's always tempted to move here.
