Hi! Oh I'm so glad you made it. I wasn't really sure if anyone would come in this Maine snowstorm!

Here, Kick your boots off into the mudroom and let the girlies take your coat for you. Would like a drink? I've got some filtered water, wonderful coffee and a variety of teas; Take your pick!

Um, yes...It is rather dark in here, isn't it. I thought the candles would set an intimate and relaxing tone for our get together. (Translation: I've been sick all week, so the house is dirty and I don't want you to see the dust!)

You'd like a tour of the house? Oh. Ok....

This is is my monstrously huge kitchen/dining area. It is my biggest blessing because it is so roomy and party friendly. I have had as many as 30 people in here at one time. It is my biggest bane because all that space has to be cleaned!

Next we have the living-room-of-difficult-furniture-placement. Anyone who designs a room with 4 doorways and a hall and staircase in it needs to get a new job! What? Oh, no. We don't have a TV. If we want to watch an occasional (VERY occasional) movie, we pop a DVD into the computer in the dining area.

On the far side of the living room you'll find the girlies' room on the right. Fortunately, it's not too messy. The room was meant to be a den, so there's no closet, but we were able to find them a pretty wardrobe to make up for it. There are bedrooms upstairs, but we started the girls out down here when they were babes (their older siblings were upstairs) and now we just really like having them down here with us.

On the left is our room. It looks stupid with the air mattresses on the floor, but we still haven't gone bed shopping. Besides, they're so comfy! We have our own teeny bathroom here with the midget shower. The stall is normal sized, but the shower fixture was installed at 5'6" above the floor. Mulletman, who is 6'2" rarely uses THIS shower!

Now we go back out through the living room and take a right. This is the blue phrog bathroom. It has 70's vintage blue fixtures, a double sink and dozens of blue phrogs everywhere. I even have blue phrog shower curtain rings!!

Ok, Out the bathroom door, if we take a right and go through this door we'll end up in the folks' apartment. I think they're busy staring at the weather channel right now and placing bets on whether or not the power is going to go out, so we'll let them be. I'll take some food over to them later.

Instead, let's head up the stairs. Now that Funsocksgirl and Bonehead have grown up and moved out, this whole space is basically fluff. Hang a left here at the top and you'll come into what used to be a GIGANTIC closet. It is now our "library" (Translation: I keep all our lit books and Bible study books and extra schoolbooks up here because Mulletman hates fiction and because he thinks paperbacks are ugly.). It is also home to the 200 pound salvage desk where I file our important papers and do my scrapbooking. Mulletman got that desk out of the trash at the hospital where he works and we painted it. It's so big and heavy...I can't remember for the life of me how he got it home!

See that awesome brown swivel rocker? I love that chair! It's so comfy and secluded up here. It's my sneak-away-to-pray-or-be-alone-chair.

Ok, next room. This very large bedroom is our music room. It is home to 3 guitars, a wonderful digital piano, 1 bass guitar, a plethora of hand-held percussion intruments, a gorgeous drum-set, several amps and a stereo. Hey! Don't touch that!

Ahem...Let's move on the last room. This used to be Bonehead's room; Now it's the guestroom and my sewing space. It's small, but architecturally interesting, don't you agree? We keep several Christian biographies and devotionals books in here for our guests to enjoy when they're visiting. From the looks of that snowfall out there, you may be coming back to this room to camp for a while!

In fact, why don't you just plan on staying overnight. Heck, why don't you just stay all week and we'll party together like they used to do in the Bible. I mean what's up with Americans and their boring 2 hour parties, anyway? In the Bible they had week-long celebrations. I've got plenty of virtual food and beds and fun ideas.

So let's give it a try, shall we?
