What is Casa De Pookie?

My pet name for my hubby is Pookie - it evolved from all manner of nicknames, but it finally stuck - and being addicted to Facebook, I would often refer to Pookie. Pretty soon, people would walk into the bank where he works and when they saw him, they'd go "Hiiiii Pookiiiiieee!!". So, apparently, it's all my fault!

We just moved to a new place, and although it is a rental, we're still rather excited, as it is the first "house" we've stayed in. We're "playing house". The moniker "Casa de Pookie" really came about because a dear sweet friend of mine decided she was so excited for us over the house that she'd make a sign. When that sign finally makes it to the house, I'll be sure to use it as our masthead! :) Pookie is a sweetie, and he lets me get away with so many things that naming the house in his honor only seemed fitting.

There's so much to do in the house, and of course, why not improve my housekeeping skills by blogging about it? If I know I'm taking pictures, I may just be motivated to dust and sweep...the garden may just make it for the season, and my cooking may just get back on track as well...
We'll see how long that lasts! For now, welcome, and hope you come back...
