I Love Red - Kitchen table

I'm linking up with Rednesday today.
I featured some pink mixing bowls on Beverly's Pink Saturday at
How Sweet the Sound.  I use them all the time.  I am using them today
with red plums.  But my red checked tablecloth is my red for today!

The plums in the bowl, the squash pickles and canned pears all
come from my parents-in-law's farm.  DH did the hot peppers!

My vintage cupboard is original to the kitchen.  My house smock is
hanging on the side.  DH and I eat some fantastic breakfasts here!

Now before you go, I want to show you a beautiful red house that
is just down the street!  Have a great week!  I've fallen in love
with RED :-)  Love, Lottie

Entry Way Makeover at the Old Homeplace

We are at the Old Homeplace now, working on it and loving every
minute. A few weeks ago I showed you my yard sale furniture finds
that I planned to put in the front hall of the house.  I have bought the
creamy yellow paint that I plan to paint this room.  It may be a month
before we finish the outside to get around to this room.  But it does
feel more comfortable now.

We are still "camping out" in the house, but it is more like having
a simple lifestyle.  I love it! Now with furniture in the hall, I feel more
comfortable inviting guests in. Many of the rooms are still empty.
There is much to do outside, so we are focusing on that first.

Hope everyone has a sweet day.  I am doing laundry, cooking apples,
and cleaning our back porch today.  A day of sheer bliss:-)

Love,
Lottie

Would you like join us on a little trip today as we travel to Anniston,
Alabama?   We are visiting one of the most sacred and beautiful
places in  Alabama,  The Church of St Micheal and All Angels.

DH is waiting on me to come in so I'll show you some of the inside.

The marble is from Italy.  This church was built in 1880.  There is
more on the interesting history on the link above.  A very wealthy
family who owned the iron works built the church so their workers
from England would have a place to worship.  And what a place!

Here are the pipes for the pipe organ.  There are many more larger
ones that I didn't get a picture of because ... they were big!

All the angels looked toward the cross.

A Tiffany window.  Then there are all the other windows..........
Here are a few.

Then there are the beautiful doors as you enter ...........

This place is so beautiful, there is no way to capture it with a camera,
at least by this photographer.  Here are some more pictures.

And here are some pictures of the beautiful grounds.

There goes DH back in to get our son.  I have never attended a
worship service but have been here several times for a tour.  The
first time I came here was the most memorable!  I was seventeen
and had been asked out on a date by a handsome, twenty-one year
old artist. Well, I thought it was the most romantic afternoon I had
ever spent, taking a tour of this beautiful church and then walking the
grounds, talking with this handsome young man.  It was DH and I
knew I would marry him one day.  It has been 38 years now and it
makes me feel so good that our son loves to visit this church also.

Thank you for going on a visit with us today. Hope you are having a
great Sunday and Father's Day.  Have a great week ahead!
Love,
Lottie
