Silver Sunday On A Cloud...

Nearly nine years ago this week, Handsome and I closed on the home where we now live. We remember a friend calling Handsome (sounding a little frazzled) and asking him what he was going to give me for Valentine's Day. Handsome told him that he'd just bought a new house for me. Our friend hung up the phone, obviously crestfallen. He wouldn't be getting any good ideas from us that he could use that year! (He did pretty well, though. Two years later, he married his sweetheart on Valentine's Day.)

Handsome and I had a good laugh about that story, but we've always told people that we gave each other a home in Florida that year.This year, in the spirit of that week nine years ago, we're again giving each other a new home. This time it's a cottage. Well, actually, "coach" is more accurate. And, considering that it's shiny and silver, I'm figured it would be alright to share my excitement with you today.
Everywhere you look there's "sparkle". Silver curves replace hard edges. Our new home has "sexy" lines. (Oops! Can I say that on Sunday? I don't want to offend.)
This will be our "home-to-go" when we embark on cross-country trips to Handsome's music venues, or trips to see our family and friends in Wisconsin. We've already decided the coach is going to travel to Wyoming, where Handsome's brother and wife are building a home. Wouldn't it be fun to add a couple of visits with blog friends? (I'm hoping there will be time for that, too!)
No matter where we go now, we'll travel in comfort and at our own pace. We'll have a familiar pillow to put our heads on at night. (No noisy hotel rooms like last year.) My home cooking, instead of restaurant food. (I think that's a good thing...) No suitcases, no airline security checkpoints, and best of all...Kes and Fezzik won't have to stay behind when we take extended trips.
This model is called a "Flying Cloud", and I can attest to the fact, that I'm on Cloud Nine over our new digs.
I had to show just one shot of the inside. How could you not love this inviting spot to call home? Needless to say, if there are any chocolates this Valentine's Day, they'll be wrapped in silver. (Well, aluminum, if you want to be completely accurate.)
