THE DOOR


I dreamed of the day that I would find the perfect door. The one that would go where no door had gone before. For 3 years, I kept picturing that door to my kitchen that would show the age of our home and would keep my children from trashing my pantry. The same door that my grandmother had on her home for years. The same door that gave memories beyond compare. And suddenly there it was.
I was walking through the crowded aisles of the Habitat for Humanity Restore and suddenly stopped dead in my tracks as my husband stood there looking at the door of my dreams. I said, babe- LOOK. It's THE DOOR. I didn't care how much it was. I wanted it. $9 later, I had my door on its way home. How do we know it's the door? It fits!!! There is room to do what we wanted- to make it a pass through and include a lock on top and it matches my trim perfectly. It will be installed next week and finally the dream will come to pass. ahhh, more dreams to come and I look forward to every one of them!!
