I LOVE reading and responding to my comments! Love it! I try to respond back in comment form as quick as I can. Sometimes, I like to respond to a comment or comments in a post, this is one of those instances.
Julie - You left a comment on my first 5QF post, I started to reply with a comment, but I felt like there wouldn't be enough room. You wanted to know where this totally paid for house of mine would be located...
I would have to say northwestern Oregon or if I had a second choice, anywhere along the Washington coast. I am absolutely in love with the Pacific northwest. I have been since I was a little girl. Any big trip we took usually started off in Oregon, then we would travel into Washington. I loved reading and hearing stories about the local Native American tribes and all the totem poles. I was way into that stuff as a kid.
Those locations would also be less than a days drive away from my family. So, if they needed anything, I could still be there the same day. I guess I would love to be close but not TOO close. ;0)
My perfect, completely paid for home would have 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Husband and I could share a bathroom, but I would want the girls to have separate ones so we wouldn't have to hear them complain about their sister taking too long. Like I said, that would be in my perfect world, haha. The house would have a living/family room, with a fireplace of course! I would have a huge kitchen with an island and all black appliances. Can't forget the tile flooring! Oh, the oven would have to be gas and not electric, since I have yet to master the art of cooking on an electric stove. Can't forget the HUGE master bathroom with the HUGE tub, and 2 sinks. You know, his and hers sinks, that way I don't have to clean his nasty sink. Guys are messy, they shave and stuff, and the hair gets everywhere, so gross! There would have to be a separate shower, big one too, with a little place to sit down. My mom's shower has one and it's great. Also, I want a little connecting to my bedroom that I could make into a reading room. Lots of windows for some natural light during the day, a chaise lounge, and a big comfy blanket to wrap myself up with while reading. The house would have to be all one floor too since I don't want to have to deal with stairs. I'm clumsy, and I could see it could be hazardous in my old age. Last but not least, the exterior... A deck would completely wrap around my little white house, with blue shutters. Azaleas and rose bushes would line the deck, if they could grow in that climate of course.
That is the house where I imagine we could raise our girls, celebrate every holiday, grow old with the husband, and play with the grandkids....
