I WANNA live there Wednesday # 66

Good morning everyone !!!

I decided to see what was cooking in our old neighborhood this week -

OMG - John and I used to walk along this street and I was always awestruck by the architectural beauty of these particular buildings - and wondered what they looked like inside.

THIS IS SPECTACULAR !!!!!!!!!
MONTREAL ARCHITECTURE AT ITS FINEST................

I SOOOOOO WANNA LIVE THERE

1,359,000  ( an absolute steal for this neighborhood )
Built in 1902
REALTOR LIZA KAUFMAN















It just keeps getting better and better - I'm going into serious home shock now


AGGGHHHH - I can't take much more, seriously








Check the basement out - it looks like an apartment


I even love the basement window :)



Suzan says - I think you'd better buy some lottery tickets this week
John says - Why, you feeling lucky?
Suzan says - I'm feeling crazed with want
Suzan says - I've seen a house that's screaming my name
John says - Don't start with the houses again - please don't start with the houses again...............

Oh but I can't express how badly I WANNA live there


You all have a wonderful Wednesday everyone - I have to figure out how to come up with a million dollars very very quickly

Much love,

Same View - Different View Points

Good Morning !



This is the view from my office window - it'll change with the seasons but other than than this view won't change much - I'll still see the tip of the Church steeple just down the rode - the trees will stay in the same place - and the houses will remain exactly where they are - nestled in on firm ground with long roots to this neighborhood.

But there are days - when my perspective on things change greatly -
Sometimes I look out and see a scene from yester year..........when things were slower and easier in
some respects - for this transplanted city girl I see a little bit of country and it warms my heart on cold days.


Some mornings I get up and stumble to the computer before I do anything else - I do some catch up reading which always ends up with reading the news.
There are days when everything seems so black and white with not much color in the world at all.


And still other days all I see are details - far too many of them - they leave my vision clouded and unable to see the overall beauty.


Sometimes I find myself sitting with a cup of tea and looking out as though watching a movie - and marvel at central casting who decided where each and every tree should go in this scene..........


There are days when my world has a little more bad news than I can bear - and I have no choice but to slip on my Rose Colored Glasses -


And then other days when I don't have time to stop to enjoy a moment to myself - those are the days when everything seems to go by in a blur.


Sometimes I view it as a painting - and can get lost just staring at it - as though it were my personal museum and I'm awestruck


Things don't change so much as how we see them do.
The world - at it's core - is still the beautiful place it's always been -
Sadness finds it's place into our hearts - evil will always lurk - but beauty abounds

And so today I choose to see it for just what it is........
A beautiful gift
Mine for the taking and I'll take it with a grateful heart.
Snow and all


Take time to enjoy your view today :)

Much love,
