I am totally going to have this in my new system house.    If I can find it, I should scan up the plan I drew for the house I want in the new system.  The top floor would have a number of bedrooms.  All for guests.  Oh, let me say first, I would like to have a Bed & Breakfast type household.  Where traveling friends can come and stay.  So the top floor would have like, 6 bedrooms.  I would have a balcony all the way around the upper floor, and each room would have a big patio door so they can and enjoy the beauty privately or what ever.  The up stairs even has a laundry shoot and a dumb waiter that goes from the laundry room to the top floor.  there is also a stop on the main floor by the kitchen.  Then the main floor would be a large living room, a big entry... oh years ago, I had a dream of my perfect entry way, It would be a breeze way, and on each side there would be room for shoes/boots, would line up along both sides of the walk way.  Then there would be hooks on the walls and above that would be a small shelf that hats and gloves could be put.  the dream was right down to the sconces.  It was a wonderful dream.  But that is what got me designing our house.  We would have a few rooms that have secret passages and hidden doorways, just to make it more fun.  So back to the main floor, the dinning area would have a lot of room, because I want a gigantic table.  I even designed a counter top that opens up into a buffet table, with heating elements built in.  I guess you can say my dream house's theme is "hospitality".  Cause both EO & I love having people over.  The main floor would also have our bed room, along with a big ole fire place.  The spiral staircase with the slide I would have to put from the main floor to the basement.  Because half of the basement would be a social room with a pool table and game table and for sitting and just socializing.  There would also be a wet bar.. not exactly for alcohol but just beverages in general.  There would be the laundry room, but there would also be 2 separate men's (brothers) and women's (sisters) restrooms and showers, in a double door breeze way, because on the other side of the basement would be a swimming pool and hot tub.  There would be patio doors that would go from the pool area to outside as well.  So this is the house, now as for outside... just like we have trails all over our property, we would do the same, we would have stables for horse back riding or hay rides.  Not to far, a lake with a dock for fishing or swimming  (see if they swim at the lake, they can walk in the patio doors in the pool area and hit the showers and change clothes)  See... I can't do much physically, but I can plan all sorts of things.  EO would have a little building for cleaning fish.  I would love to have a nice hill for sledding in the winter.  The trails on the property would be great for cross country skiing or hiking in the summer.  I know I haven't listed all the details, but I am a firm believer that if you make plans for the new system, it will become so real to you, you will make sure you are there.  The faithful slave has been saying that for years now, and when I talk to people about stuff like the house I designed, they say they don't picture themselves there cause they never think about it.  PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT, I WANT YOU TO COME VISIT ME IN MY DREAM HOUSE!  :D

I've designed a number of aspects of the house, but now I am going to look for pictures of things like these stair cases, that i would love to have in the house.  As I find them I will post them.

So today, my stomach is bad, I have a headache and my back hurts.  I feel horrible.  but I just don't want to think about it.  There isn't anything special about today that I titled this Happy Day, i just did it, because of how awful i feel.  So moving right along.
