but it's one your visitors are sure to see

Our family vacation destination of choice over the last couple of decades 
has been this breathtaking spot

Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park

With only a very few exceptions, we have come here every year

We've been coming here long enough to know exactly the perfect time to visit

I just saw your blog - it's great! Thank you for sharing! I don't know how to blog, so I'll ask my question this way....What is a good kind of cream neutral yellow you would recommend for kitchen and living room - not too overwhelming, something warm and comfy?

NO MORE BORING WALLS! UNPREDICTABLE...

Ordinary is boring. 

 More often than not, we walk into a home and know what to expect. 

The wall over the sofa will have a mirror or a painting. 

The same thing over the bed, and the same thing over the mantel,
and if there is another blank wall,
well - expect a mirror or framed art.  

Not that I'm saying its a bad thing.
 I love mirrors and paintings....

but I also love a little bit of the unexpected now and then...

The unexpected is exciting. 

It gets your juices flowing. 

It's creative. 

It's fun..... 

so how about some fun?
