~ Changes ~

Things around The Cozy Kettle have been a little chaotic lately.

See my Dad in the picture below....he's looking out at Mammaw ( & Poppaw's ) pond.... He has been diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer and just had a tace chemo treatment last Wednesday. We have been told that will be the only 'liver' chemo he receives unless...additional tumors form. ( he has 7....3 large 4 small ) Basically they have said there is no cure...just trying to slow the down the growths.

That has been the most devastating news. I am not going to rant & rave because I've already done that.

After much crying ( & screaming (= me ) We have put up a united front.....and faced the music, so to speak. My dad has been so brave. He is 55 and they have not given us good news. But we have our faith.....and we are going to FIGHT!

I love this picture....my dad & my genius'.

They look like 2 peas in a pod don't they?

Also, we've decided not to move. Too much going on and we ( I ) just felt too overwelmed. Honestly, I should be horrified showing these photos of our house....but since we were MORE than half packed to move.....this is what it has become. Some of our decorative accesories were unpacked and put on the dining room table.... ( ignore that wall grouping....I was just playing w/my $1.oo yard sale frame...it was a brass color ) It's time to get this place organized and back together.

Things have been moved around....wall decor has changed....and the garage ( no, I'm not showing pics of that ;) is FULL...uggggg. The blue bedroom ( our master ) is also in the middle of a much needed overhaul. So many things are going on all at once. Nothing like a good project or ten ( ha! ) to keep your mind busy right?

Are we crazy? Yes. :)

In the midst of all the chaos....Cooper managed to find a place to rest. ;)

Many of the 'several' projects we've started in our home, we have wanted to do for a very long time. Why not finish ( can you ever be finished ? lol! ) what we started here in our little place...... The Cozy Kettle. We love this place!! We are super excited about this project inparticular.....any guesses as to what it will be?

Have a beautiful day~
