Porter deep in thought at the kitchen table
When we moved from Utah to Texas I insisted on a "study hall" where the kids could spread out the homework and leave it there through dinner time. Though John does not like formal spaces I was thrilled to find a Dining room to be that perfect study place. Close to the kitchen so I could get to their questions quickly, but not in the kitchen so the table could be set for dinner.
Here at the Spruces we are lucky enough to again have a study hall. I call it the library. Guests to our home call it the Dining room-though no one would think to eat in there. Crammed with the library furniture I had custom built for our Pacer home, and a little tight to fit into when we gather each morning for scriptures, the library is a great space to spread out the books. With a view of the spruces which sprinkle the landscape and of neighbors who go walking by. It is a calm place of reflection. A great place to study and to LEARN.
But here is where I find Porter doing his homework every day. With a view of the back yard basketball hoop just taunting the studying child, this spot is Porter's thinking place, the place he goes to booklearn when not at his desk in school...
Coming tomorrow and peppered through out the week to come; Thoughts on HOME from some wonderful women who I am privileged to call friends.
