  14. What a great neighborhood. Reminds me of a movie. FWIW, I don't think your cinderblock home is ugly at all. I think it has it's own unique character :0).

  27. So - yea - I've been reading your blog for a while now and just realized you're from Alabama. Actually it went more like this: 'OMG! I can't believe this beautiful woman, with the beautiful house, in the beautiful neighborhood is from ALABAMA!!!' Don't you just love these older neighborhoods?!? Obviously! I'm in North Alabama ~ let me know if you're close!
