Simply Smitten: Quaint Cottage

"Just as there comes a warm sunbeam into every cottage window, so comes a love-born of God's care for every need." ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

The truth is... I don't require very much to be happy.  I could easily be content in a cozy cottage amongst a few meaningful items.  I would revel in being awakened by the morning sun streaming through my cottage windows, reading by a crackling fire on a crisp Autumn eve, or falling asleep to the sound of raindrops amongst the rooftop.

Would you be happy living in a cozy cottage?

Far Far Away

Yesterday was one of those days.  It started with a phone call at 5 in the morning from the school district saying there was a two hour delay due to ice.  Chaos ensued as the kids were involved in a minor fender bender, (thankfully, neither of my kids or their friends got hurt.... praise to the big guy upstairs).  I had to help a friend who was emotionally distraught.  You know those types of days... we have all been there.

It got me fantasizing about running away and renting a little cottage in the English countryside, (think Cameron Diaz in, The Holiday).  Just a cozy cottage, no phone, a toasty fire, and a cute European car to roam the open roads.  

I'm packing... who wants to come?
