So naturally I don't see anything familiar in these pictures except a big nod to yesteryear when there were big fireplaces in kitchens not stoves - I love it! <br /><br />I decided your house warming gift is gonna be a big witches cauldron to brew a wicked potion and to place a "Time Stand Still" spell so you never have to move again!<br /><br />"First close your eyes and imagine a clock and focus on that clocks ticking and then say the spell: Time stand still- I order you. No minutes pass until Im through doing what I have to do. Time stand still- I order you"<br /><br />And they all lived happily ever after in their new home!<br />Prairie Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184627811619354417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-80840193158015784572017-02-09T16:34:47.819-06:002017-02-09T16:34:47.819-06:00I am so happy for you!

One would think that mortgage companies would have this down and make the process easy for the customer.
