Guy and I chose our home together. We found ourselves in what we now understand was not such an unusual situation; my parents were moving in with us and we needed a house with two roomy master bedrooms. If any of you have tried to find such a house, you can perhaps appreciate our struggle. Our search ended in Lewisville, Texas where we finally found just the perfect home.
Misfortune came to us soon after we had lived in the house only one year. Both my Mother and Father took ill. Little did I realize how grateful I would later be for the precious year spent with my dear parents. My Father’s health declined rapidly and my Mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. We lost my dear Father last Thanksgiving morning. It was a sad day. He was a great man and you shall meet him later in my posts. My Mother resides in a memory care facility where we visit her regularly. You will get to know her well!
I lost my job during my parent’s illnesses and have yet to find another. I spend some time on the job search but there is little out there. Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome limit my work abilities, so most of my time is spent on our home. I spend each and every day finding a way to make it feel comfy and graciously warm. There is certainly nothing in the budget to allow for decorator expert ship, so I just use what I have along with treasures I pick up from what I call my “secret haunches”! You’ll see what I’ve done. If you like what you see and hear, I hope you will subscribe and join me. If I am not what you have in mind, no harm; we will part friends.
Well here we go…A big welcome to all of you as we wander around Madame Beliveau’s Home and Garden and meet those wonderful folks whose remarkable lives make my life a joy! Cheers to getting to know one another better and to sharing my triumphs as a parent and as a person!
Fondly,
Madam Beliveau
