But I am going to tell you that I do not like cruling. i like ice skating both singles and pairs and snowboarding. I think ski jumping is a little weird and the sport luge is a little out there for me. They need to put padding on or something. I pray for the boys family and hope they can get more barriers or protection for the luge sport. Great Question, Rose Sat, 13 Feb 2010 04:38:13 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56596435 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56583860 Oh Lessie, Happy Birthday sorry so late but I do not think I will ever forget it because my sons birthday is on the 6th.

My hubby and I have been though a lot but came together in the Navy and have been very blessed because we understand each other. Even though we do get on each others nerves. Sat, 13 Feb 2010 02:06:55 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56582740 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56494434 Hi C&E, Cute. I do not remember farther and further. I know my English teacher would be mad at me for saying this but I do not remember that phrase she used to describe both of these words. Now I am going to be thinking about it all day until I remember it or figure it out. I know I can post it on facebook to all my high school buddies because they all had the same teacher. Well thanks it just makes my mind think a little faster today. Great start to a great weekend. Thanks a million for your post, Rose Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:14:14 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56494434 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56494029 Thanks for the explaination. I think everyone has a problem some where down the road with the English language. The who/whom thing is a mystery to me. LOL I think that whom is hardly ever used now. It is like thy it just faded away until you are in English class and you have to read it in one of the plays. We have even took it out of bibles unless you go to a church with old men and women (like my family and myself do go to) that have the King James Version you are not going to hear it often. LOL Thanks a million for the post, Rose Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:10:39 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56494029 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/11/your-own-private-island/#IDComment56447556 Welcome to the house of dreams! I love it and keep dreaming.

Of course Gail you are invited just show up any time you want. I am just hoping that a blog does win. I know I say that so much but it has been a while or it will be the first.

Thanks Gail for another wonderful video and place to blog. I am so ready for life to change for me and anyone else that wants to change there life. Thanks again Gail, Rose Fri, 12 Feb 2010 05:38:28 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/11/your-own-private-island/#IDComment56447162 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56446059 I am glad you like what I wrote. I am amazed how long it actually took me to write this discussion. I was surprised because I really hate to write and that is why I started to blog is because it helps me get my thoughts out there and makes me write things down. I have a so many ideas that I cannot keep them inside any longer. My first language was Spanish so I have to work harder at English and I have done alright for myself. I stil get confused with there, their, and they're but I am getting it. I love that I am so passionate about something again. Thanks a million for reading, Rose Love to hear from you and your comments. Fri, 12 Feb 2010 05:24:28 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56446059 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56445569 I think it is a great idea. I live in Northwestern Arkansas right at the base of the Ozark Mts. I have actually went to Pedigene Mt. before and have stayed in there cabins up there but we found out quickly that my son is allegric to cedar so we did not stay as long as my hubby wanted to. It is fun to go up the moutains and play but I am not a camper. My version of camping is in an RV that has hot and cold showers and a toliet to sit on. I live with two boys and a hubby that love to rough it and we live in the middle of the sticks so if they have to go pee they just go find a tree and pee. I am kinda from the city but not really. I lived about 15 minutes out of town where my mom's parents lived which I lived with them until I was 14 when my grandpa (papa) passed away. It was always fun with the dairy cows, horse, pigs and goats out there but here it is more for the cows and horses.

We live in Northwest Arkansas at the base of the Ozark Mts. It is fun going up the mountain to play a little bit but I am more of a person that likes to go camping in a RV. I have went to Petegine Mountain and have stayed in there cabins up there it was fun but found out quickly that my oldest son is allergic to cedar. That was a first year back. I think it would be great to go to the state park and camp. Thanks for a wonderful idea. Saving money is all the best when you are on vacation. Thanks a million, Rose Fri, 12 Feb 2010 05:07:48 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56444821 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56401461 Debbie Florida, Thanks a million for reading my post. I know it is a lot to read and it just says what all the photos and video says but it is different when you write it all down. For some reason when I wrote it all down it took me right into the house and felt like I was there experience the whole house has to offer. I love to know about this Roaring River park because I have only lived in Arkansas since I get out of the Navy in 2007 but have not been to Missouri yet. I would love to go to Silver Dollar City because my hubby loved it when he was a kid but we just have not had the time or money to go but I have been saving money to go on vacation this year I just do not know where we are going to go yet. I thank you again. Thanks a million, Rose Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:53:49 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56401461 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/02/09/from-desert-to-dynamite/#IDComment56284266 It took me four post but if you start it you have to finish it. I think it is funny that I wrote so much about it in so little time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it.

It is one of the wings off the house that has another amazing view. The kid’s room and guest bedroom has a jack and jill bathroom and a laundry room between the two rooms. Then there is a casita that has its own patio bathroom and bedroom. Casita (Spanish) means a small house in English. Then there is a motor court that is huge, amazing and great to hold parties at. This house has it all plus extras. Now down to the nitty gritty. It is a mix southwestern architecture with a modern twist. It has 3,900 square footage that is a unique an amazing sight with the San Pedro Mountains. This house is in between Santa, Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico. It makes a complete difference when you write about it and it is so amazing. I know I have used amazing so many times but that is all I can say about it. I am not only at an aahhh with it but so amazed that this house exist with mine and my hubby's taste in mind. I know for some reason that I will be a part of this house somehow some way.
