One year ago today Amy and I signed the papers and became owners of the 1900 era home our friends lovingly dubbed the Cookie House. Homeownership has its adventures-- when the well pump quits and the washer breaks and the water softener dies... (which, yeah.. have all happened at least once within the past 12 months). But we still love our century-old home. We love the beautiful wood floors, and our cozy pellet burner, the lovely gardens and trees scattered throughout the yard, the floor-to-ceiling glass cabinet in the kitchen, the small study, and the homemade rug Betsy braided for the living room.
We especially love hosting visitors. So, if you've never visited the Cookie House, consider this one-year anniversary your special invitation. And, even if you've stopped by many times, we'd love to have you over again for a cup of tea (or Amy's amazing homemade hot chocolate if you prefer), a couple cookies, and a chat. Don't forget to sign our guest-door in the kitchen before you leave.
I don't think we'll be able to make it before you leave, unfortunately. But hopefully we can still come before WE leave. I just need Amy to email me her schedule, so I know when she's at home. After all, she spends quite a lot of time doing the carpool dance!:-)
