My family moved to Arizona about 15 years ago. My parents, my brother and his family, and other family members all migrated to the southwest.

My husband's family is from Texas. They have southern charm and I'm lucky to be a part of their family. They even have a "Stacey Patterson Day" honoring the day we met.

A little over a year ago we sold our home that we purchased new and bought an old farmhouse. We like old houses and being outdoors, so its a move that we were looking to explore. It has been a major project inside and out and has consumed  much of our time and changed our typical lifestyle. Our town historical society asked us to be on the Holiday Home Tour. We did this in December of 2018. Our renovation is far from complete but it was a great experience.

This is our current project. Not sure when the picture was taken, thinking it was back in the 40's.

Behind this door are many more projects to come.

Our house was on the front cover, but only because of its age

What would a farmhouse in the country be without farm animals.

You would think that buying a house built in 1868 would be the mistake, but purchasing this puppy has topped the charts. Her name is Beatrice and she is very sweet but a lot of work
