When I was a kid, we used to have fun with the children of American tourists, telling them we lived in igloos in the winter and went to school on dog sleds. Oh, they were so gullible! We would stretch the story as far as they would let us. Afterwards, when they told their parents how rough we had it, they were probably told to stay away from those wacky Canadian children! At any rate, this is my house, a fully insulated Canadian igloo, and if I don't get off the internet and get busy, I'll never be able to keep as clean as it is here.
You have a lovely house! I see a bow-wow at the foot of the steps too - sweet! The living room betrays it as a woman's house...the drapes. It is very nice though. You are a lovely lady, through and through. Thanks for letting us into your private domain. :)
On your other post - I used to live in Boston - wish you had more time to see it.
Angela, we have pine ceilings throughout the whole house. I really prefer the natural look of wood.
Karin, yes this house is the one that's for sale.
Terry, that's my collie dog, Sal! She's really smart. We actually built this house ourselves, without using any contractors, and I planned the interior decorating. I guess that's why it looks feminine!
A paramedic who loves her job, but first and foremost, a traditional Catholic who recognizes the tremendous grace and privilege of belonging to the Catholic faith.
And yes, I use Canadian spelling. Humour, centre, colour and such. If you think it's spelled wrong, it's just the Canadian way!
Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

So big...
Houses are tiny in this country.
Nice staircase.
Nice grass, I thought you just had ice and rocks up there.
I love your igloo!
Did the dog come with it or did you have to provide your own?
A home is just not a home without a dog curled up on the rug near the door. I guess that goes for igloos, too.
