~Let Me Tell You About My Hometown~

~My July FCN Assignment~

I grew up in the Itty-Bitty town of Bremen Ga. It is a friendly little town where everybody knows everybody...maybe a little too much. From my birth until age 13, I called ?Bremen home. I lived in the tidy little mint green house on Wilson Ave.
Growing up, I was fortunate to live in Bremen. The kids could walk all over town, and everybody knew and watched out for you. I spent summer walking to the city pool, walking to the store for candy, and riding bikes all over town. I even walked to school with all the other kids everyday which took about 10 minutes:)
Bremen is small. It is well known for the railroad tracks...tons of those, Hubbards and Sewells clothing factories, the huge gas tanks, and that's pretty much it.
It has changed, they actually now have a Walmart, Subway, DG, Freds, Zaxbys, KFC, and a few others. As a child, I don't remember many restaurants...just Dairy Queen ,which is no longer there. I guess maybe that's why everyone cooked and had gardens back then. People actually grew and ate real foods:) Life was much simplier then ,than it is now.
I still visit Bremen often, because I still have family there,and It always takes me back to life as a child. I enjoyed growing up there and that little town will always be dear to my heart:)

Let me tell you about my style...

I'm not sure I really have a style. I like what I like and if I don't like it...I just don't like it. I'm often told that I'm very country...maybe because of my southern accent. I do like country things. I like things that look neat or comfortable. I want people to feel at home when they enter my little house:)
I like to wrap up in throws by the fire on cold winter nights. I like pastels and bright cheerful bedrooms, however, I like the oriental rug below my dining room set, and yet I love the antiques that my FIL passed to us. But, I'm also very kid friendly and I love the big playground in my yard,that I created for my kids and all the kids around. So maybe I haven't gotten a certain style or maybe I created my own style...I guess I'd call it, "Down Home ,Happy,and comfortable"... that's my style:) I want my home to feel welcoming and I want all to enjoy their time here.
