Fun Friday

A couple of months ago, after Travis started his new job, we were in need of new phones. After much deliberation we decided to go the Droid route and I’m very pleased with the amount of apps and such that are available with it. Especially the WordPress app! I seriously love it. I couldn’t figure out how to get photos from my phone to my blog but it’s a cinch with the app. That’s how I posted the last two posts and since I’ve been sick, having the convenience of lying on the couch and still being able to connect was great. Granted, they were really short posts but that means that I can post from anywhere- like while I’m on vacation. I’m not a techno-geek but I love it when technology makes my life easier.

My phone has a decent camera and I can use Instagram…

Or not…

I like the effects on Instagram (top picture) but the pictures are smaller and that bugs me for some photos. The camera app that came with the phone has effects too, like cropping out bunny ears- if you look really closely you can see two tiny fingers behind my head- and the pictures are bigger.

All-in-all, I give the WordPress app a big thumbs up. I don’t think it would be good for a very wordy post but for blogging on the go, or for being stuck on the couch, it’s a great way to go.

Have a fabulous weekend!

A bad cold is making it’s way through The Button Casa and apparently it’s my turn. Halle was sweet to cover me in her baby blanket and she gave me her favorite stuffed animal, Purrrlie.

Comfort from my seven year old is so sweet it makes my heart ache just a little.

I hope you all had a fabulous Mother’s Day.

Is it really Thursday? I seem to have a case of writer’s block that stems, at least in part, from the end of the school year. Chloe is in a homeschool academy that *loves* projects. Really, they just love them. I really hate them. And I’m sure that’s not it completely but my brain is not thinking about writing, at all. It’s a strange feeling because I often think in “blog post form”. Mostly I’m just thinking of taking walks and swimming and all things summer related. So, today, because it’s fun, I’m going to post about a fabulous farm that’s for sale in Franklin.

I’d like to introduce you to Rolling River Farm. It has 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, 4 half baths, is 10, 495 sq. ft., sits on 23 + acres,  has it’s own basketball court and is listed for just under 6 million.

I love this staircase.

The library

This magnificent home was an addition to an historic log home. This living room is part of the original house.

The kitchen

I love this house for many reasons, not the least of which is that it sits on over 23 acres. The basketball court would make a great workout room or volleyball court. I don’t exactly love basketball although I played in high school. That was mostly (all) to work off the vast quantities of Christmas cookies I’d inhaled during Christmas break. So maybe fill half with workout equipment and the other half could be used for half court basketball games? I think Travis would like that.

You can click this link for the photos of the whole house and property. Enjoy!

P.S. Have I ever mentioned how much I *love* Franklin? Because I really, really love Franklin :)
