Oh Willie, your new home is just beautiful. There are so many things that I just love about it. First of all, I would die to have a pantry like that - instead of little cupboards. I like the island in the kitchen with stools to sit around it.

I love your furniture and your drapes and the bathroom is wonderful.

It made me laugh that ALL of us mentioned the kitties....well, this is a pet site so of course we would. I noticed them right away too - a snippet here - some legs over there.

You know, we do tend to forget over at Thursdays that Mario is a real, very much alive monkey. It hurts me to think of what he must have gone through with his home destroyed too. But thank God, you were able to capture him and he is back home with you and safe.

Willie, you deserve this new home - you have been through a lot and it is amazing what your husband was able to do. Hats off to him!

I am just so pleased for you and thank you for taking the pictures for us.
