    Out in the woods of the Old Smoky Mountains, there is a lovely road that winds through the trees. It takes me to Christine Kane’s Blog. You’ll have to drive few miles off the highway to get to the gravel drive that takes you through the tall, tall trees. But when you do, eventually you’ll end up in a meadow where a two-story wood house stained, not painted stands among gardens of wildflowers.

    A big side porch goes all around it. On the porch are four or five rocking chairs and a swing.

    oh man, this is SUCH a great idea! and i’m so honored that you describe my bloghouse like that! (don’t forget to mention the river. and the dog!) Okay, so my newest find out in the blog world is this one: http://sweetpetite.typepad.com/

    And her place is intimate, but wide open floor plan. And it smells like crayons and the whole space is about fun and creativity with lots of windows and great light. And we all get to draw and paint and glue things and laugh.

    Several times a week, I go to my friend L.L.’s house at Seedlings in Stone. It’s just outside the Big City, but far enough that the trees around her house hide the tall sky scrapers. I have to walk past an old country church to get there, one of those white washed churches with the tall white steeple. Her house is a few lots down from the church.

    There’s a library branch across the street too. She has lots of late fees on books there, but the librarian loves her anyway. Whenever she turns in her overdue books, the cranky old lady rolls her eyes and says, “L.L., when will you ever learn?”

    But L.L. loves to pay library fines. After all, the money goes to support a local library.

    In her backyard, she has a garden. It’s only four feet by four feet, nothing fancy, but a reminder of how much she loves life and growing things.

    This is a tough one Liz! I would love to live in one of those active adult communities (once my kids have left the nest) where we each have our own little homes, but our dearest friends are all right there to go on walks, share a few laughs, play bingo, tennis, swim at the pool, have cookouts, go to lunch and share memories.

    The blogging world feels a lot like that to me right now and I have to say, I love it.

    Hi Char,
    A blogging adult community — what a grand idea! We could set one up on the net and have a big shade tree as a logo. 🙂

    My Simpler Life, http://encouragingcoach.com/wordpress/?p=932, is the one I read to capture the feeling that the name of the blog connotes. I picture it as a cottage-beachy place, a little sand on the floors, spare of decor, all whitewashed and calm with a huge deck that leads right down a path to the ocean.

    Liz, we are totally in some kind of Vulcan Mind Meld since this is exactly what I was writing about in my last post yesterday afternoon.

    For me, it’s gotta be Lifehacker. I envision it as a modern loft in an urban city, with wide open spaces and trendy furniture…not to mention pretty much everything somehow is organized according to Getting Things Done.

    Hi J.T.
    What a wonderful description of Lifehacker. I always pictured it much the same way. 🙂
