When I was a little girl it wasn't at all unusual during the warmer months to find me playing outside in the dirt, climbing trees, making a fake garden, pulling lawn grass blades, blowing dandelion seeds in the wind, playing dolls, singing songs, drawing birds, walking, twirling til I was dizzy, talking to the cat, and the list goes on.Colder months in Kansas didn't stop me from playing outside and when the snow blew, I'd make snow angels. Bundling up in a coat, pulling on snow boots, wearing a hat, wrapping a fuzzy scarf around my neck, putting on mittens or gloves...didn't stop me from enjoying the cold temperatures that touched my face. It was an art form to blow outward and watch my breath make moisture whirl in the air. When the tip of my nose got numb, I usually went back inside and took all that stuff off to warm back up.
I liked the feel of our home. I felt at home. Cozy comfy and safe. My childhood home was a small rectangular house on Roosevelt Street. White with brown shutters. My favorite tree is still standing in the front yard. Of all the rooms in this little house, I honestly can't say which room was my favorite. I liked them all.
At the present time, I still don't know which room in my home is my favorite. I like them all. I suppose I could say I just really enjoy and like the over all feel of HOME. My home where I live.
Please tell...do you have a favorite room that you'd tell me about?
God Bless,

Deanna, I traveled backwards and enjoyed your blogs immensely. A beautiful escape from the pressures of the day. Thank you!
Hi Deanna,
Lovely post and I enjoyed hearing about your childhood days.
They say that home is where the heart is and I think that is so true.
Growing up in my family home, my favourite room was the sunroom, where it was always sunny and a great place to be. On one of the walls was a big blackboard where we used to write our times tables and I used to like playing the role as a teacher there.
Brought back a lot of happy memories.
Happy weekend
Hugs

Oh Deanna-your childhood home and memories sound so lovely. I can honestly say that God has blessed us with a home that I love. Although I love all of her rooms the library and the bathroom are my favorites.
Blessings,

Hi Deanna. Oh, what a sweet post! You sound like you were a lot like me...busy busy busy and having fun! I can't say I have a favorite room in my home. I think I enjoy them all!
Be a sweetie,

I do believe I like all of the rooms in our home, and use them as mood and need fits. My most relaxing room is our living room, which is actually a 'great-room', encompassing the kitchen, dining room, living room and sun-room. Here I can work in the kitchen yet see and be part of all that goes on in the other rooms. Or when alone, can cook while looking out of our picture window onto our pond and the sky...
All in all, where-ever I have lived I have found happiness because I enjoy home..be it a repo-trailer for 3 years while we built our home, a tent, an old , old fixer-upper. Home is where my family, my heart is.
Your home is lovely, your rooms ( all you have shown ) look inviting, and this post is a nice reminder of what we consider 'home'.
Hi Deanna:
Thanks for stopping by and enjoying my entry on Madison, IN.
...I have enjoyed the glimpse into your childhood... All the cozy places that have made you you. ...Childhood is also one of my favorite rooms. The place I can always return to and feel safe, loved, and cozy in the parade of images from my past...
...In the now, my favorite room is anywhere I am that is filled with light, peaceful, comfortable, and sprinkled with just a few of any of my favorite things... and of course a cup of TEA.
Thanks for sharing. Hope your Sunday is lovely and in some special way -- divine.
blessings,
Rosalind
Enjoyed reading of your childhood.
Favourite room?I have never thought about having a favourite, wherever I am is my favourite for that moment as I usually choose where I am depending on what I want to do. If it is reading then it is in my back sitting room looking over the garden, if it is watching tv then it is the front sitting room and so on.
The dessert looks delicious. I do remember Graham Crackers from my man y visits to the States but we donot have them here.
Glad you are enjoying my travels with me.
Lovely post!I am a home body and I enjoy all the rooms in our home.
Take care,
Carolyn
I just loved this story :)
Right now I can say my favorite room in my home is the dining room. I like the decor. It's the 1 room in the house that you can find our whole family enjoying a meal together.
What a wonderful story Deanna. I love all the rooms in my home too. I love my kitchen best, I guess I can work and paint there and see outside where the birds and flowers are. We did win the twist contest the New Years Eve in 1959 before our wedding in April 1960. I have no pictures, but I can still remember what I wore. Check Monday's post for the TRUTH. blessings

My favorite room mom would be what most men call their fortress, the garage. But as you know, it is no longer the garage...it is our master bedroom. While I have yet to sleep in this room (very, very soon) it is simply my favorite because of all the blood, sweat and tears I have poured into this labour of love. I still have my favorite room underneath all the decor and new walls.
