This week we will answer: If you could have any house, money no object what so ever, what kind of house would it be? Walk us through it...


**********************************************************************

I think about this frequently. And it is always changing. This is the closest I could come up with. There are only 2 constants in my dream house (whatever it turns out to be). It has to be more then 1 story and it has to have more then one stair case. Everything else is just gravy.

I don't like feeling like everyone is right on top of each other. I want everyone to have their own space when they want it.

Another constant in my dream home is where the house is. It has to be in the woods and on a lake. I want the kind of driveway where you have to dive to get your mail. And my sister needs to be my next door neighbor. We were talking one day and discovered that independently we had both had the same idea. To buy a few acres and make like a family compound. No not one of the religious freaky things. We just would like to be close enough that we could see each other every day but far enough away that we have our own space.

We would have our own beach in the summer, mud pit to go mudding in, woods to ride 4 wheelers through.

I guess my dream home is necessarily a 4 walled structure. It is more a sense of being. Contentness. With the people people that matter most to me close by.

But it would be sweet to have that kick ass house too.
