Take your shoes off, sit a spell. :)

Image (c) 2006, Karla Dorman (taken by Karen Lynn Vidra)

No great big mansion, but no
shack, either, this apartment
on the Plains: no use trying
to make it fancier than it is.

The second you enter, books
and paper and pens rise to
greet you; my words love to
climb into laps, purring, happy

to be read. If you don't mind
some clutter, if dust doesn't
bother you, you're invited to
stay as long as you want ---

we love having company. Sorry
it's not the Four Seasons or a
million dollar home - it's mine.
Take your shoes off, sit a spell.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (6/5)

Karla~ I would be happy to be anywhere with you, just as long as we're together. Clutter or no clutter, fancy frills or none, it's still home, and there's nobody I'd rather be with than YOU. Outstanding; brava! (((HUGS))) and much love, your twinkles, Karen Lynn. :D Love the pic; of course I took it! LOL

I don't mind dust and clutter. Sounds like a lived in home. My deceased Tom always said his home looked lived in when people came to visit and he welcomed all who came. I think I will take and sit a spell. Good write**********

I don't have a million dollar home, either, Karla (though I live within a half a mile of them), but my home is where I'm most at peace. It's nice to read that your apartment has the same affect for you. (Ohio will still be 'home sweet home' for both of us, though, I know.) Thanks for taking the challenge. Hugs & Love, Jill
