and the ends to keep them looking new. Never wash with soap, just clean them with hot water right after using.

. I have so many fond memories of sitting on the sofa looking out my folks picture window. Many of which were watching all the neighbors trying to get up our hill after a snow storm. It was quite the entertainment. We lived almost at the top of the hill and very few made it past our home because as their vehicles slowed near the top they'd give it gas and wind up spinning then having to back into our drive to turn around.

We don't have a picture window in our home, but have quite a few windows so there's few places where we can't look out. My desk sits between two in the second floor where I can look one way and see to the highway between Omaha and Blair and the other into our neighborhood. The windows go to the floor and almost to the ceiling so I can see quite a bit. It's kind of like being in a tree house. I love it. I thought about putting the sofa I have in here in front of the windows, but then I'd miss looking out. Maybe if I start using my hubby's old lap top more I'll do that.

that.
