Then the inevitable day dreaming of our future 'perfect' home/life begins.  My mind starts racing- how I long for a stately home to fill with unique finds, comfortable furnishings and pieces full of character... budget?  What budget?  Ah, what a lovely life that would be.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK87uuLs_x0EKtJy9ex5QXjVxadF4gT-h9N_iZV8U2dggRrNxwdjV83RVuU-HuFNxuA0yfxSqDUcwD8F_lUW4N803x4G0SjeUqXzwlXaD7_bAk73s3Ili_xw8zQ1haKuovZbSzi1boiHkP/s1600/IMG_7038.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK87uuLs_x0EKtJy9ex5QXjVxadF4gT-h9N_iZV8U2dggRrNxwdjV83RVuU-HuFNxuA0yfxSqDUcwD8F_lUW4N803x4G0SjeUqXzwlXaD7_bAk73s3Ili_xw8zQ1haKuovZbSzi1boiHkP/s640/IMG_7038.JPG" width="640" /></a> <br />  <br />Then we step out onto the beach.  Restored.  My crazy head stops its babbling and I breathe.  Fresh.
