Fleeting Moments

Photo


Good morning from the Guest House. If you click on the link above it will take you to a recap of the creation of the Guest House. With the devastation that continues to unfold in Japan I reflect on fleeting moments which of course is all anything is anyway and give thanks for this very moment that I have the privilege of sitting here writing to you.



This little Guest House gave me the opportunity to be close to my Mom in her last few years here on earth. For that opportunity I thank my sweet Father for having the fore site to buy this little cottage behind his beautiful house and allowing Dana and I to transform it back to its glorious self. Many happy moments were shared here with Mom and I can still see her beautiful smiling face enjoying those sweet times. What a blessing those precious memories are.



Thank you for coming by. I hope the tour of the Guest House is a pleasant break from the saddness we are all feeling for the people in Japan and the world as we continue to pray for those in harms way.


Blessings and much love,

Sue

  2. Sometimes we get wrapped up in things and forget everything we take for granted each and every day. I love the butcher block island in the kitchen! xx

    Hi Sue,

    I know my heart aches for those people !!!

    I remember when you did over the cottage...you and Dana did a fantastic job, I hope she and her boys are well !!!

    I have had my Mum living with me for the past couple of months, she just recently went back home so I've been away from blogging.

    Happy Spring,
    Kathy :)

  7. Love the island and the transformation you did with this guest house! So lovely.
    I am sure your sweet mother enjoyed every single moment here. I can see how much love and care went into this project.
    Love the green color of the island and how it ties into the entire decor.... flowing effortlessly from one room to the next.
    Gorgeous!
