Raise the roof!

We have roofing framing! 

Spent some time at the house over the weekend.  I could be there all day, wandering from room to room, daydreaming what it will be like when we live there.  Gazing out of what will be the windows, envisioning how our view will look at night.  In the morning. And in the rain.  The kids don't share the same affinity for all this daydreaming and retreat to the car with their iPads after about 5 minutes, screaming from out of the windows every few minutes asking, "How much longer????"  But honestly, what would a childhood be without memories of being bored to tears while your parents are quick to respond to your plea to leave with, "We will leave when we leave."  

Hanging out of one of the windows in our master bedroom, picturing us all cuddled up on a Saturday morning, looking out onto our beautiful hillside filled with citrus trees, grape vines, olive trees, and lavender plants.  Yes, I pretty much want to look out my window and not know if I am in Southern California or Provence.
