Yes, it's orangey-peach and NO, it's not that pretty-yet! I still have to add all the "homey" touches to the outside such as plants in the windows and a little patio set outside the front window. That front window has it's shade down but it opens up to the living room. The door is big, green and heavy-very secure. We just have the carport-no garage-but there is a plastic shed. See it on the left? We actually moved it to the backyard so you don't see it when you drive up. The two upstairs windows that you see are our bedroom on the right and the master bath on the left. Not much to look at, but it's home. Next up is a cute Italian home with blue shutters and doors:
A lot of the homes here have colored shutters or doors and well manicured gardens with fountains and/or statues. And most all of them have major gates and fences around their property. Here is a picture of a scary little road under a little bridge that we have to go under to get to Area 1 of the base (where the school and Parent co-op are) when you are coming from Area F (where the flightline and BX/Commissary are).
Two cars barely fit under that bridge at a time and on teh other side are two turns that are both blind, as well as a 3 road intersection on this side... so it can get a little hairy driving under there! Here's a picture of a yummy little take-out pizzeria in a tiny town just outside of Area 1:
It was closed for Ciesta when we drove by. It's owned by a Sicilian family that speak no English, but they make a YUMMY pizza! Remember the scary bridge/road I just showed you? Well, this is the road you end up on after going under the bridge, and this house sticks out into the road:
This is a TINY two-lane road and everytime we pass this house I think of a little old lady sitting in her little alcove there (see the little square window with flowers in it? That alcove) sipping her tea, and a car coming CRASHING through the wall and hitting her! Yes, I think that may happen. The roads are NARROW! LOL! Well, that's all the pictures for this post. I will get more up later. I need to get my To-Do list done for today and Angel just nodded off for her nap so now's the time for me to complete most of my list. I hpe you all have a Fabulous Friday and hopefully I'll get a chance to post again later, or tomorrow. Until then, be blessed!
P.S. I forgot to mention, I updated my blog list over on the right sidebar. Those are the blogs I try to check daily and there is some AWESOME inspiration to be had from them. If you have the time, grab a drink and hop over to a few of them. A few of them are having some delicious blog candy giveaways and others have GREAT tutorials on Copic marker coloring. If you want specifis, just leave a comment and ask and I'll let you know which is which.
