A Stone Cottage by a different name ~

A blogging friend, SUZAN, did a post on

 STONE COTTAGES 

and being the COPY CAT that I am,

I wanted to do one, too...
I LUV STONE COTTAGES, too...

Stone cottage for sale on the Internet.

OMYGOSH..

I want this house...

but, of course, it would have to be in this town where all my children and grands live.

The stone cottage from the movie,

THE HOLIDAY
"A fairy tale English cottage set in a tranquil country garden" 
*heavy sigh

ooo, i am sooo in luv....

I just had to show the bath in this adorable, fairy tale cottage.

Stone walls around that MAGNIFICENT tub.
I want to take a long long soak in this soaker tub.... 
or is it called a SLIPPER tub..??

WHO wouldn't drool all over themselves about this kitchen.?

More personality than any kitchen I've ever seen.
I love that she added  shelves above the mantel...
makes it all look like a fabulous, fire-burning hutch. :)

If you looked up the word

in a dictionary,
you would surely find this photo.

OK...back to STONE COTTAGES

While our home isn't a traditional HOUSE,
 ( it's a pool house belonging to our son)
it is indeed, built of brick and STONE.

As you can see, if I ever walk in my sleep, I'll end up
walking the plank...
and end up in

the beautiful pool...
 

a perfect place for growing  beautiful flowers.

such pretty pinks..

 I love the way the builder used stone with brick "columns' between the twin french doors......(actually, not columns at all but a row of brick ....) 

 This building, being built by Mr. Sweet, will be 

brick and stone

just as the house.

(it's a homeowners association requirement)

It will all tie in together and is going to look really good.

Boxes of stone left over from the building of this amazing pool house,

so lovingly called THE SUMMER HOUSE by moi.

And, of COURSE, I must share with you what we had for breakfast on this most beautiful Sunday mornings.....

When I was very little, my parents divorced 

and I was separated from my sweet daddy.

The most vivid thing I remember about him when I was VERY little is

the breakfast he liked to call

 THE OLLIE RAMSEY BREAKFAST.

Biscuits or roll...

fried potatoes with onions

Log Cabin Syrup or Molasses poured over most of the food.

Ever so often...when I'm missing him,

I fix THE OLLIE RAMSEY BREAKFAST

for Mr. Sweet and myself. 

I realize that is such a small thing to remember about someone you love...
it was such a good breakfast, even for a little girl, that I remember
sitting at the table, eating with him.....
and that memory has stayed with me all these long years.

I do remember LOTS of things about him and our time together

as I got older. 

Photo from Internet
I have never been so in luv with a house !!

THIS is a little more than a "cottage"
and isn't it sooo dreamy !

It looks like large, whole stones
...and don't you love her stone walkway
with grass between....
the arched entry way over the small porch...
the hearts in the shutters...
the red door and geraniums on the window ledge....
