WELCOME TO OUR LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE

Here we are at the front of the house

We have a corner lot

would you like to come in for a tour?

we are going in the front door to the living room

This is the bay window facing the front of the house and if you look real hard down the street you can see the corn field

This is the opposite wall where we hope to purchase two club chairs and a fireplace

This is where the entertainment center will go to house the t.v. 

The main cooking space in the kitchen

The pantry which is what I missed most about where we are now

The dinning area off the kitchen so it makes it look like a country kitchen

Same space as above but out the glass doors is the backyard

Laundry room there is also a closet on the left for coats

garage this is the water heater and furnace closet just off the laundry room

double car garage

Guest Bath which is a little smaller than what we have now but I hope guests will be comfortable enough

Master bath.I love the double sinks

the shower is across from the toilet and a very large linen closet is next to that
Master closet and master bath 

master closet will have to be altered a little . we want double bars on the right side

Back yard and small patio

back and side yard
These two are very excited to have grampa in the neighborhood

it will make babysitting Noah a lot easier
Thanks for visiting and hope you come back in December when I should be all moved in

WELCOME TO MY HOME

WOBEGON COTTAGE IS MOVING TO THE PRAIRIE.
We have just put an offer on this home at West Prairie Point. It is 3 long blocks from where my son and his family live. This has happened so fast I am still a little shocked. We really feel the Lord must want us to stay here in Minnesota. We have been trying to decide as we get closer to retirement whether to go back to Washington (my home) or stay here. With this opportunity we have decided to stay. It is the perfect home for us as we enter the last stages of our lives, The Golden Oldies one might say. Two of my children have settled out here with their families and one of my daughters lives in Washington all have children so it was a hard choice. My parents and most of my siblings live there also. There are 4 months of the year where I am uncofortable living in this state...January and February you almost freeze to death. Then there is July and August where if the mosquitoes don't eat you alive the humidity will take your breath away. So there is a lot of time spent indoors. This house provides just enough space for the two of us to live comfortable. As we age we can have our groceries delivered, our sidewalks and driveways plowed and even get someone to keep the yard up. This will be the last home we purchase and I won't be moving anymore unless it is to the nursing home. I am ready to sit back and watch the grandkids grow....this next journey is going to be exciting!
