Yes, having a porch has a trying side. But it has many benefits too. It's a great place to relax, sip your tea, or read some books and feel the outside without having to go out your home. =) <br /><br />Angelina Garcia @<a href="http://www.archadeck.com/pickYourProject/pergolas-and-trellises.html" rel="nofollow">Archadeck.com</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00829101274770996190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-18248089345590995632011-04-13T08:22:38.108-07:002011-04-13T08:22:38.108-07:00Thanks for the tour of your porch; it's amazin...Thanks for the tour of your porch; it's amazing! I also love the combo of blue and white; it's one of my favorite combinations (as evidenced by my obsession with blue and white transferware!)<br />I can see why you'd love to sit out there for just about everything!...I adore the slipcovers for the dining chairs too. I'd like to get a couple pieces of white wicker for my porch, even though we don't spend much time on our porch (we don't have the great view that you do!)Katie@LeBeauPaonVictorienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875430484358625924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-25870716259705307692011-04-11T12:05:53.529-07:002011-04-11T12:05:53.529-07:00Richard your comment about your brothers cracked m...Richard your comment about your brothers cracked me up! They sound very....ahem...manly! Haha! Now how did you end up so differently? (not that you're not manly but you know what I mean *winks*) I too am the black sheep in my family. The rest of my family couldn't give a poop about things being "pretty" And most of them are allergic to antiques......I keep asking my mom if I was left on the doorstep or something....but I'm the spitting image of both my parents. LOL!

I loved petting Sissy and meeting you. Your post about your porch is so great and I see you have a view of the Mississippi River from there. A blog you might enjoy is "Between Naps on the Porch", Susan is in Georgia and has a Thursday Tablescape with over 100 people participating with their lovely table settings. She also visits historic homes, antique malls, and offers interesting ideas. Your Missouri town was one of the highlights of our trip.
