My husband is a retired Navy veteran with 23 years of service. He has always wanted a flagpole at our home and now is the perfect time to add a beautiful flag to fly over the ranch.
.
Our anniversary is on Veterans Day (11/11) and we celebrated 32 years together. I gifted my husband with a 25' flagpole from Service First, a veteran owned company . We love it. ❤

Salvaged architectural pieces made the perfect pic Salvaged architectural pieces made the perfect picture ledges. The black lights were attached to a weathered board found on the ranch. I used the @nestingwithgrace magic light trick so they aren't hard wired. I love how the landing looks with our family photos on display. ❤

Early morning. Not my favorite part of the day but Early morning. Not my favorite part of the day but growing on me.
.
I've always been a night owl. It was my peak time to get shit done after the household settled down.
.
Now, I kinda like the quiet and stillness of an early morning with coffee and nothing to do.
.
Maybe it's because my kiddos are grown and it's easier to keep the house maintained without late night cleaning and projects needing attention. 
.
Regardless, I'm just grateful for another day to do whatever I want to do. 😊

Welcome to my office. . Doesn't look much like a t Welcome to my office.
.
Doesn't look much like a traditional office but it's where I sit and work most days.
.
Paperless should have happened a long time ago. It's so much neater.
.
What you don't see here, are my 2 laptops and iPad. I'm tied to technology all day. Not so freeing.
.
At the end of the day, it all gets tucked away in a basket. Then I am tethered to the office via my phone. Except weekends.
.
Maybe one day I'll get the loft done and have a real office  again. For now,  this works and I like my chair.

We have found hundreds of bottles on the property. I'm not kidding.
