And thank you for a house full of people I love. Amen. ~Terri Guillemets











"The family.  
We were a strange little band of characters 
trudging through life 
sharing diseases 
and toothpaste, 
coveting one another's desserts, 
hiding shampoo, 
borrowing money, 
locking each other out of our rooms, 
inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, 
loving, 
laughing, 
defending, 
and trying to figure out 
the common thread 
that bound us all 
 together." 

~Erma Bombeck

“Home is where one starts from.” ~T.S. Eliot


“That pleasure 
which is at once 
the most pure, 
the most elevating 
and the most intense, 
is derived, 
I maintain, 
from the contemplation 
of the 
beautiful.”
 
~Edgar Allan Poe
