“Home is the most popular, and will be the most enduring of all earthly establishments”

Before we moved to Trinidad, I had moved twice before in my life: both times before I was the age five! The first time we moved all I really remember was getting an eye infection from flying sawdust (we built that house). And the second time we moved I was five and I was learning to ride my bike! So...all the nostalgia to say, this move I shall recall with clarity! It has been such a new experience for me to settle into a new (to us) house. It’s really quite neat, finding new homes for things, new decorations, making it look all homey...but it’s also a bit of a challenge- people adjusting, finding their niche...:) So the our place is still a little rough in places but you can still get an idea.


The sign post for our street is kinda bent over. A little typical for here!


Here's the front of our house! The main living area is on the top level and the ground level can be used to park cars, and for storage.


Inside the gate and up the steps....


On the left is the living room-complete with several musical instruments! It just wouldn't be us without them!
The picture on the right is the dining room which also serves as the school room too! :)



Here's the kitchen...it's really nice! Lots of room for us to work together.


Our back porch is as long as the whole house- on one end we have the laundry area and freezer and the other end we are making a little sitting area, with that really lovely looking bench and plants. :)




This is the view out our back porch. That white looking building area is the market...and I know I'll post more about that later!

I like our place. It has lots of potential and I’m looking forward to some sewing projects and more decoration projects. I’ll be sure and post as I go....

Have a beautiful day!

Huzzah for a post! It's so nice to see some pictures of your place! Helps me get a better idea in my head for when I'm thinking of you all - which is often. :) I love you!

Love, love love the pictures! Thanks so much for taking the time to post them. It's neat to see where you live now (but it's terribly hard to think of you all *not* at your Arkansas house). Home truly is wherever our heart is, and we should be able to make a home just about anywhere. :)
