Another Chapter

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
Ecclesiastes 3:2

So excited for our new adventures, were in this as a family, my brother Jim is our partner, our kids our employee's, truly a family affair.

Here is the house we bought 1,968 square feet 3 bedroom, 2 bath (Love before....because the after is going to be soooo good)

Inspiration picture, smooth white stucco, 12x8 front slider, Black grid windows, aged wood.

We'll bring in Olive Tree's again as they are my absolute favorite

Monday 4' stucco walls are going up around the front and back. 

Three wood gates

                                  I want to incorporate a little herring bone into the design

Our backyard retaining walls will look like this 

The pool we're putting in will be 20x10 lap pool with a powerful heater 4 feet depth, smooth concrete
3 feet under, 24" above ground.

John and I decided in-between projects we are going to take our family on a fun trip, because a lot of our time is spent on the business we have to make time for our children. 

Sunday night we locked up Mayfair, said goodbye to our beautiful home. 

This is "home" to me my loved ones. I'm not attached to anything except these people right here. 

On another note life seems to be taking different directions lately so many people are in transitions, making life changes. Many of these changes are for the better, starting new business's or moving. My sister Rachel has launched her children's clothing line First American Baby!!! Her designs are stunning she does everything, design, and sews all of her clothing, moccasins. She blows my mind. Check out her website First American Baby

Today we'll be flying to Bishop to lay to rest a wonderful women who made a huge impact in my life. Ellen was our neighbor, Sunday school teacher, my mom's best friend, confidant, more like our auntie. She will be missed greatly! 

Hope you enjoyed reading another chapter in the Slee's life. God Bless today, Love Shirley
