About Me

My name is Shellie and I am a 40 something working empty nester searching for new ways to occupy my spare time. I live together with my husband of 28 yrs. and our two dogs in sunny florida where we recently bought a tiny lil home out in the sticks that we will make into our own little cottage in the woods.

I have some BIG plans for this little place :)


 So she's tiny, but she has potential.   I love the magnolia tree in the front yard and.........
There's a lil citrus grove, with pink & white grapefruits, tangerines and a sweet & sour tree.

The inside of the house is in need of some TLC. It's the perfect project for a couple of weekend warriors on a super tight budget, So, we'll find out if we have talent!   it's ok to be little bitty.

A Home Song by Henry Van Dyke
I read within a poet's book
A word that starred the page:
"Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage!"

Yes, that is true; and something more
You'll find, where'er you roam,
That marble floors and gilded walls
Can never make a home.

But every house where Love abides,
And Friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home-sweet-home:
For there the heart can rest.
