A Walk Through Our Parent's House

Our parent's house is beautiful, simply because we lived there. The house had five bedrooms and a spacious living-room. The living-room had an autumn patterned sofa and comfortable chairs, A beautiful table and a hand carved chest that we inherited from our grandmother Elfrieda. Two velvet green chairs and table which were ever so comfortable, There was a china cabinet with beautiful dishes. I really liked the Indian carpets in the living-room, The creme beige floor length curtains that framed the large windows. A table with chairs where we all used to dine and have conversations. Beautiful paintings of great artists, when I retired I inherited an Albrecht Duerer painting. The recreation room had a library and a comfortable sofa, A television where we watched our favorite programs. The kitchen had nice honey comb cupboards and a place to dine, My parents house was carpeted beautifully. There was a beautiful Magnolia tree on the front lawn, Our parents would plant forget-me-nots and white lilies which would appear with the spring thaw. The five bedrooms were decorated nicely, there was a Florida room, A very spacious garden , I had contributed seven spruces for the garden. What good memories of our parents house, Where we lived with happiness and God's blessing. Author; Gwen von Erlach Schutz
