It's here. It's finally here. Boomama's Tour of Homes. I've been looking forward to this since she said she would host such a thing in Blogdom. I'm looking forward to visiting and getting a tiny glimpse into your homes where all your stories and thoughts originate.
And I'd like to welcome you to my home. If you were really here, the first thing I would do is offer you coffee, tea or cold drink, but seeing you're not really here please go fill your mug or glass, relax and we'll pretend you really are here. So off we go. I'm really grateful for my home. It's not the biggest there is or the fanciest and it's definitely not in a newer neighborhood, but we have been blessed here. We're raising our children here and have very happy memories inside this place. God has been good to us. And one time when we were just sort of dreaming out loud, mentioning moving to a newer neighborhood in a newer house, all our kids went "no way - we like our house!" Now that was music to our ears.
First stop, of course, is the kitchen so we can grab our mugs. Extra large. Cream for me, what about you? And don't mind the cheeseburger soup simmering on the stove. You can have some when it's ready if you're hungry!
Now, would you like to bring your drink into the livingroom. The chairs are more comfy but it really is a toss up where we ourselves spend more of our time. The kitchen is the hubbub place. Usually something is always going on in there. But the living room is quite nice to sit in too. It's where we read, watch t.v. or spend time on the computer.
That black thing on the green pillow beside the loveseat is a fixture there. It's my 16 year old cat. She sleeps alot now and likes a cushy pillow. I hope you're not allergic. If you are we can move out to the deck if you'd like. It's pretty hot in here anyway, and there's a nice breeze outside.
Yes, those are the trees that I was so thankful for in this post. And the bush in the middle of the picture is the peony bush I talked about here. Flowers are all bloomed out now.

You are an awesome hostess, Susanne! I love how your mug travelled through the pictures with us...so cute. Thanks for the great tour.
I love, love, love your green door against the white. So very pretty & neat, just like I picture you. :) Thanks for the tour.
Susanne,
I'm very much a cat person. How wonderful that yours has lived sixteen years.
I love the desk! Beautiful tour, thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad you got to participate. I was a bit worried with you being gone this weekend you wouldn't! Whoo Hooo!
I love the paints that you have chosen. Your house is so pretty!
Love your front entrance!
Jennifer R.
Aren't you cute the way you carried your red mug around?! And your home is just as I thought it would be. Warm and inviting, much like it's host! :)
Once I managed to get past your very enchanting graphic at the top of your blog, I was really impressed with your inventiveness as a hostess, and that traveling mug was a brilliant idea! The hostess with the mostest!
Lovely home! Just beautiful. p.s. your linkie doesn't work from Boo Mama's. Thanks for the tour!
How sweet that your tour really felt like a tour with your mug there in every picture as though we were really moving through the house.
You have a lovely home. We have a couple of senior-citizen kitties too. They're all snuggled down on the other side of my nightstand on a comfy pillow.
Thanks for the tour!
PS: How about posting that recipe for Cheeseburger soup sometime? Sounds yummy!
Lovely home Susanne. I love your coffee mug too!
Beautiful, love the green door!
I agree - cheeseburger soup recipe! Fall is coming, so soup's on. I loved the tennis shoes by the front door - and yes the red mug traveling was like that little spider that shows up on every page of that kid's book. Cute, cute. Felt very at home to be at your place.
Very pretty..I had a little trouble finding you because you have your link listed wrong at mamaboos, but once I did I enjoyed my tour
Lovely! Yes, half and half for me, too (no milk please). What a great tour.
Beautiful, Susanne! And I enjoyed seeing your coffee mug in each room. I'd love to visit for coffee - cream and sugar please. And I believe you previously mentioned that you have some yummy flavored creamer in your fridge - I'll take that kind. Thanks for the tour!
I love your green door. And the traveling mug. And the black lump on the pillow. Adorable. And look at the kiddie pool in the back yard. Your home is lovely, Susanne.
Now how about that recipe? Sounds perfect for football season to me!
Love it! Thanks for the tour and the cup-o-jo!
Mmmmm coffee and a tour, what a fantastic hostess! Thanks so much for showing your home, it is so nice :)
Oops, didnt mean to be "anonymous"!
The mug... it's following me! *grins* you have a goregous home!
Thanks so much for giving us a glimpse of your beautiful home...it's very welcoming as you are:-)

Love your home. Thank you for sharing :-).
Have A Great Weekend!!
What a lovely house - so pleasant and relaxing! I'd love to sit down and have a coffee with you!
How very polite you are! Thanks for the tour, and the coffee... :-)
I take mine black thank you, and I'm not leaving just yet 'cause I didn't get any soup yet. Loved your tour, your mug and your home, it's very comfy and warm just like your personality.
Your kitchen is so nice and spacious! It was fun seeing your coffee cup travel through the pictures!
I agree...beautiful home and you're a super hostess! I felt right at home! Love that red coffee mug idea...:)
Thanks for a very delightful tour!
Please come by my little place, too...I was late in openning my door this morning but the coffee's ready now... ;)
Lovely post and home. I love peonies. They always make me think of my grandparents farm home.
I just loved having a cup of coffee with you in your cozy home!
:-D
I love how you put the mug in every photo. I wish I had thought of that!
Love the color green of your door.
I love your house. It is so warm and inviting. I love your words at the top of your post...it isn't the biggest or the nicest, but you are blessed. That's the attitude to have, dear friend. Thanks for sharing, love that mug!!
Blessings!
I love your narration-thanks for the tour, you home is lovely!
Lovely home and tour. The coffee mug is a nice touch. Does it star in all of your photos?
Beautiful and creative just like I thought it would be. I too, loved the traveling mug and wish I had thought to be that clever! Thanks for opening your door and your heart to us all.
Your house is so clutter-free and beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Just here for the home tour! I love thought of cheeseburger soup. The white outside with the green door is striking too! Thanks for the tour! ~ jb///
Love it - your front door is outstanding and everything about it says "welcome." Too bad we live so far apart - I'd be right over for soup. Maybe some day...
What a beautiful home you have! I enjoyed my tour very much, thank you!
Great house! Thanks for the tour!!
(Pet your cat for me! I wish we could have one, but the little one is allergic. Sigh...)
Blessings! ~Beckie
I love that green door! Green's my favorite color and that door is a great shade. Thanks for your gracious hospitality!

You sound like a very gracious hostess. :) What a hospitable home!
What a wonderful yard...and yes I'll have some soup when it's done. :)
i love the red mug in every picture....how clever to add that after inviting us to share a cup with you.
thanks for visiting my home too. next time i will have hubby make us an espresso
Dear Suzanne
Your home is very cozy and inviting! I enjoyed the visit very much! If I hadn't been in such a kerfuffle with Blogger I would have had you over for a house tour too!! Oh well - next time :)
Lovely home and very inviting. I'll sit on the deck with you...no allergies to cats, just prefer the outdoors when possible.
Thanks for the tour and thanks for visiting.
Thanks for the visit. It was nice. Your house is great.
Boy you made me feel welcome! Loooooooved the red coffee cup travelling with us from room to room!
Chris from Canada
For the record, that's the cup I want to use when we have biscuits and gravy someday!
Now I finally can picture you at home. But where is the Big Yellow room?
I visited you the other day, when I returned from my mini break but my comment wouldn't post so here goes again..
Lovely home! Thanks for visiting mine. Where in Canada are you?
Susanne - Thanks for all your kind comments the last few (crazy) weeks, and thanks so much for letting us visit your home. I love your entrance - and if your house is this clean all of the time, consider me TOTALLY jealous. :-)
I *love* the traveling coffee cup! Your home is lovely. Thanks for sharing!
WOW! How neat...I like the cup too!
Thank you for the tour and the wonderful cup of coffee!
What great big spaces! And I love that lush green backyard. Thanks for visiting my blog and saying, "hi!"
Thank you so much for the tour of your home- it is lovely! And thank you for stopping by mine!
Very pretty and thanks for the warm welcome. ;)
I loved every second of the tour -- from that beautiful green front door to the deck with the view of your yard. Your home is lovely. Thanks for sharing it. And thanks for having stopped by my home.
Beautiful home - but the cheeseburger soup really caught my eye - recipe sharing? Cathy/Michigan
