"There's Nothing Like Staying At Home For Real Comfort " Jane Austen
November 09, 2006
Guess Who? We recently visited the home of someone who is very important in American History. Can you guess who used to live here??
**That's Miss Bonnie on the left in the pink jacket:)
Hint: Here's the view that surrounds this famous home!

I've just begun reading your blog lately and have enjoyed it! Yes, I know the place because my husband and I visited there in September. We enjoyed all of the 3 tours immensley and it was so nice to look back at some of the "History" of this country that we live in. Learning about this man and his home and grounds was very interesting. The place is... Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello!!!
Susan, we used to live in Albermarle County in the early 90's and as residents got in free to Monticello. It was always so nice to take visitors there. We always enjoyed the big roaring fireplace outside in one of the sheds when waiting for the bus that climbed the mtn.
I love that garden picture, too. I have a picture of my almost 25 year old son standing in the garden when he was about 10. I included it in his graduation scrapbook. We have great memories there.
I am so happy you stopped by for a visit! I invite you to join me on my journey as I begin my new life as an empty nester. I feel so blessed because I will be taking this journey alongside my dear husband of 30 years, Mr. P. I am a Mama to two wonderful grown children, and a Nana to the sweetest boy in the world! Homemaking is truly my passion. I love nothing more than to "putter" around my home, trying to find ways to make it a more cozy and comfortable place to be for my family and friends. I am happiest when I have a glue gun in my hand, a pot to stir, bread to bake, flowers to arrange, sheets to hang, candles to light, and smiles to give! Life is indeed good.

I was all excited that someone had visited our state and stumbled onto Monticello...and then I saw where you were from. Ooops!
Monticello! I've been there myself so recognized the photos! What fun!
Ladies, I can't fool y'all! I am so glad so many of you have enjoyed Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson!
