A Little Dream House

When my dog Emma and I go to Manassas (about an hour away) for her acupuncture appointments, we always take country roads to get there.  Besides being incredibly scenic and relaxing, it's also the most direct way to get there from here.  Along the way, we pass this incredible house.

I can't tell if it's a converted church, or a house that has been modified to look like it's a converted church.  Whatever it is, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it.

Whoever lives here must work during the week, because I have never seen a car in the driveway on the days Emma and I go past.  I have vowed to stop and knock on the door to introduce myself, if I ever go past and find any sign of anyone at home.

I tell my dear Husband that this house will be my widow's retirement cottage.  I will fill the yard with roses and the house with cats.  He just laughs at me and nods.

One day, I will meet the person who lives here!
