69 PR 109

                              

Welcome to our dream! I can't tell you how to get there and neither can most GPS devises. The address is 69 PR 109, that's 69 Private Road 109, and it's located on Lake Merritt, a small private lake near Goldthwaite, Texas. Now before we get into this story, I would invite you to read an earlier story on my blog page, "Okay, Hears The Deal", to get caught up on the details and history as to how this dream came about.
 
Amber and I love our little yellow lake house. Yep, it's yellow and if it was anywhere other than on a lake I would never dream of having a house of yellow. But, there's something about being on the shores of a quaint little lake surrounded by nature's quiet pastures that makes yellow more acceptable. Anyway, it's much easier to tell folks, "It's the only yellow house on the lake!", when trying to give them directions.

This dream house is also an old house, used for the most part on weekends, vacations and holidays. When Amber and I first saw the house our vision was enhanced by the natural beauty of its serene surroundings and the childlike dreams of what it could be. It's not that we were completely blind as to the work and cost that might be involved in making this lake house a home on the lake, it's just that we didn't care.

Anyway, we have all seen the movies where folks take an old dilapidated farm house or an old cottage in the woods and after a couple of hours (movie time) they transform it into a dream come true. This may not be a movie (yet), but Amber and I are committed to this change in our life and we would like to share it with you, the good and the bad. We'll share it all (pending Amber's approval) complete with photos.


Here we go!
