I still need to get outside and clean where Renaissance Man threw snowballs at Little Man all winter. Such good memories of them laughing together on each side of the windows. I guess that's why I've been in no hurry to erase the telltale signs of their playtime.

So, I'm with you ~ open the blinds and let in the light! I LOVE the glimpse of your playhouse, and I'll bet you have lots of fun memories of times spent there. Won't that be a fun place in the future?!!<br />Happy day to you!<br />Sue<br /><br />ps ~ I"ll bet you know this tune that keeps running through my head as I read your post ~ "in Him there is no darkness at all....."Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298632258557474170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-84427168372252137962011-04-09T20:12:44.528-04:002011-04-09T20:12:44.528-04:00How did I ever miss ths wonderful blog?!?!?

I'm all caught up on your posts now and I have to tell you, we used to have a putting contest in honor of the Master's golf tournament at our house. My husband would set it all up, we would take turns putting and the winner would get to put on this green jacket (???not sure why I purchased it) I had. Such an honor!! I don't think the winner chose dinner, but it was fun all the same.<br />xo<br />lynnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03639585542870213565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-82918099617160090472011-04-08T00:19:02.860-04:002011-04-08T00:19:02.860-04:00I love your simple pleasure, Debbie, I am a window...I love your simple pleasure, Debbie, I am a window peeper, that is from the inside looking out, though there are times at night when we are driving I enjoy peeping from the outside in. lol<br />I spend a lot of time in my kitchen and am so thankful for my window , and yes, a girl can change her mind any time she wishes.<br />Enjoy,<br />Hugs,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-88370191809260697032011-04-07T23:46:13.738-04:002011-04-07T23:46:13.738-04:00I'm so with you on this.

You have a great view looking out the kitchen window and wonderful memories with the playhouse. It's just precious! <br />I have my front windows covered with sheers and rarely open them, also due to the idea of Tom...but my back windows are open as much as possible. {However, at night, I need them closed.

Your window is clean and shiny and the view made you remember when, even as you enjoyed the now. I'd say that covers a lot of good ground, so enjoy the view.

Those are the most wonderful moments. Funny, out here, I never close the curtains in the living/dining, but the bedrooms I always keep blinds closed at night.

Well, that and the fact that I am constantly running from my bathroom to the couch completeled naked to find clean clothes. I feel really sorry for Tom if he catches a glimpse. He'll be blinded for life. YIKES! <br /><br />I do enjoy having the windows and blinds open to the backyard this time of year though. I totally get it!

I still get the heebie-jeebies at night - but, keep my windows wide {although, not as beautifully shiny as yours} throughout the day :)<br /><br />I "get" your window...more than the precious little memories held in a cute little playhouse...but it's freedom, wide open and clear to see the world for all it's goodness.<br /><br />Great simple pleasure!
