When we lived at our old house, I always wanted to entertain but didn't feel comfortable in our little, old house. When we moved in our newer, bigger house then I started hosting parties and craft days. It's been so much fun and I can't believe it took me so long to realize this! I had been missing out on so much by not doing it sooner. I realize now that it is not all about the house.<br /><br />I also wanted to say that the best compliments I have ever gotten on my home have been those that tell me how warm and inviting it is. That's all I need to hear... that's what I desire!Angie Berry ~ Berry Homespun Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664447067172311957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048847545089467727.post-84932505056795987262010-06-14T16:42:17.028-04:002010-06-14T16:42:17.028-04:00Hi Mary,

I like having the family for picnics...but it means a lot of trips to the indoors for various things to be carried outdoors...but it is how I am most comfortable. Well maybe because some members of the family have allergies, and my cat did cause them to sneeze! Now that should not be a problem, since two weeks ago :-(! I am glad you found the castle to be simple on the inside! Have a wonderful week...sending blessings your way from my part of PA!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033748957386956585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048847545089467727.post-10673114745599291342010-06-05T21:13:41.025-04:002010-06-05T21:13:41.025-04:00Oh Mary~ You are so right!

I was at her brand new house last week, and found myself wondering if my place would be good enough to ever have her over for coffee... I think that you have reminded me today - that it is.

Right now Shane has a ton of hunting junk, tools and two bags of dog food in our dining room. All things that I can't take care of - but in the meantime we are expecting his parents any minute. And I'll just be okay with that. :) And yes, you usually do have that sweeper in hand. :)Mandi @ Sweetly Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048025096730223820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048847545089467727.post-81061765406517064092010-06-04T19:48:55.499-04:002010-06-04T19:48:55.499-04:00That is a good story to remember.
