For about 10 years our church has had a men's home for those coming out of addiction. And we just recently purchased a second home for single women. Our staff had a picnic out there last week to tour the home and just hang out together. It's a stunning property, with I think about 4 acres of woods and a creek... the home is very old with so many antique features.
The doorbell ~
This is a little gazebo type structure that looks like it was created for fairies! That pink thing is a mirror...
There's a lot of remodeling to be done but I'm glad they're going to try and save as much of it as they can. This place is going to bless so many women and the families who love them.
I went out to our backyard last week and picked 4 cups of blackberries! They've been growing wild back there for a couple years and this year we've got a great crop! I harvested... and Chuck made the cobbler. It was so good!
The new washing machine is working great! I was a little nervous at first because it shows it will only use about 3 inches of water in this massive machine, how is it even going to get everything wet? There are so many new settings but once we figured out what we wanted, we tested it with a load of towels and everything came out clean, and wet! We're still getting used to the unusual sounds coming from this thing...
Spushhh!...
Spushhh!...
Gush... then silence for 20 seconds.
Clump...
Clump...
I kind of wish we'd have gotten the one with the clear lid so we could see what it's doing! "Look ma! No agitator!"
It's the one on the right. You can see just how many options there are. It's very different but so far we love it!
Do you have antiques in your home?
Do you like to do major projects around the house?
Has your family been affected by addiction?
