Welcome all who are pure of heart and have loving intentions.
My home is like my heart. It is ever expanding.
Let's say grace. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Thank you our Lord for these thy gifts which we are about to receive from the bounty of Christ our Lord Amen. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Josephine and Domenic it is time for your afternoon naps.
Up the down staircase.
The teapot is never empty.
There are many doorways leading in and out of my house; feel free to enter or leave. No one is hostage here.
Stay the night if you wish.
The priest is serving appetizers in the back.
The door to the fairies at the back of the house can only be opened if the child in you lives. (The image of the bas-relief doorway is taken from the Baptistry in the Florence Duomo, one of my dearest Lola's favorite churches.)
Choose the room you feel most comfortable in; know that everything is touchable.
Soup is always on.
All children are welcome. All children know the way to get in.
You will be heard here.
Abuse of any kind will not be tolerated here.

You home is awesome! Perhaps I shall move into 10 Blogland Lane, and we can be neighbors.
Keeping you, Sheldon and Jacquie in my prayers.
I love you, my friend.

How wonderfully welcoming your home on Blogland Lane is, Renee! I can't wait to visit you there. I am planning my move there right now and hope to be in by the end of the week.Thinking of you, as ever - hugs, Caroline
Oh cool! Still praying for you and yours my friend
xxxxx
I'm booking in to stay the night...and looking forward to the appertisers...but most of all to give you a hug...take care sweet girl...
i thought to myself that my words will never be 'enough' or ever the 'right' thing to say, and yet there is so much i wish i could say ...
...and then my eyes fell upon my word verification here ~Quest~ and a picture came into my mind...
...of you my bloggy friend with wings that are so big that they can encompass all that they encounter and such a beautiful light streams from your heart that it lights the way on that dark forest path that you tread...
You won't need anything else my friend, we/your bloggy mates will call the angels of your army, with our prayers, you just keep walking one foot in front of the other, we've got your back <3
Sounds like a comforting place to be. Thinking of you all...always.
My love,
xx
Renee- Wow how lovely! Can you fix me up in a place like this? Well, maybe without the twisted priest. Love you and your place. ~rick
Brilliant Renee, when shall I turn up?
I am still thinking of you and your family everyday, and just because I don't always reply to every post you make, doesn't mean I havn't read what you have written, sometimes words escape me and I just sit and ponder after reading your posts.
Life is cruel in so many ways but my love is with you at this time,
dear sweet Renee.

Amazing post! Brilliant!
Oooh, I'm planning to move in later this week! We can be neighbors!
You're so lovely. All that's going on and you have time to play. Great house although I'll pass on the "Appetizers" . . well and the tea . .do you have a bottomless champagne bottle? Thinking of you..
Ya.... I'd be your neighbor too! You sure know how to serve appetizers....lol!
love you Renee!

I love it. Is 9 3/4 a Hogwarts reference? It looks very welcoming. Mind if I nab a little of that baguette on the way in?
These seems to be another wonderfull and with lots of hospitality bloglane land, where you are welcome to stay, have a nice chat, play with the kids, but it is fundamental to never forget the rules, the important ones, not the stupid social crap, the rules that adults forget and can make youg people life a leaving hell for many years, those are the propose rules that should never be forgoten, neither here neither anywhere.
Your home is the most welcoming home of them all... I would like to spend sometime with you.
thank you I will enjoy the guest room...
you are often in my thoughts and always in my heart...
xoxo :) Ribbon
Knowing you and your loving family only thru words on my screen still brings my heart into the equation. The Lord will be with you all as you travel this unexpected and unfamiliar path.
May the greatness of His world infuse you with loving kindness and an inexplicable joy despite the sadness.
Hugs from afar,
Lynda O
I love this post. You truly have a heart of gold.
Love,

Good morning, dear Renee. Your words are images will stay with me for quite a while again.
The images of your Blogland Lane house are so inviting, I'm so glad we will be neighbors there, at least.
I know I will not be able to shake that last image out of my mind. Yes, in a perfect world, abuse of any kind would never be tolerated.
Sending you and your loved ones my love and prayers.

I love your home. I will be right over for tea and soup. I can walk, I live next door to Audrey at 10 1/2 Blogland Lane. :) My love to you, Jacquie and Sheldon, and my prayers. oxoxo Pam
Oh, Renee, what a fabulous place you've built here so close to my own #7! I love every single part of your house and yard. I'll be over often, especially in the back yard having appetizers with the priest and his, uh...friend! You made me laugh out loud through my tears this morning before I've even had coffee. I love you, dearest Renee, and am praying hard for you and your family daily. Hang in there, friend of my heart. Blessings, neighbor!!!
Beautiful home, a place that is truly a home - why? because LOVE pours forth!!!! Even the priest lets his hair down, can't say fairer than that!!!!
I like what you've done with the place, Renee. Can I take over the kitchen (which looks eerily like mine, y'know)?
Pour another cup of tea and wait for me in the veranda. I will give you a foot massage, and listen to your heart.
My prayers are with you and your family in pain. I am sending you something in the mail tomorrow.
Love,
Lola xx

Hi Renee, this is my first time at your blog. I was a little worried until I saw the priest and the appetizers. Then I knew everything would be okay. (P.S. I'm an ex-Winnipegger, lived there for over 20 years. Wonderful city).
A wonderful corner of the world, yours. A beautiful day in this neighborhood, every day. Thanks for inviting me in (pretty damn crowded in here though with all delightful people, lol).
Mr. Rogers, move over!
What a great post! Your imagination must be both a wonderful help and at time a horriable curse. Imagine and see all the good things and thank you for the wonderful invitation to your home!!
next to my place, this would be perfect for me (although not religious, i am spiritual). my place is far away from you (and everyone) but i know i can pop in anytime, and you can to me too...love ya and hope pours out of me for sheldon every day.
Pudd
This was beautiful and refreshing!

i want to play on the tire swings and rest for the night...i am glad to be your friend on Blogland Lane...thank you for the warm welcome and know that prayers are offered every day from my heart to our God....
Renee this is the perfect place, you thought of everything. thinking of you & yours and sending love x x x
oh my sweet jesus, i always knew you had your own brand of creativity, that you are a wonderful writer, that you appreciate art and symbols in your own unique way, but this place you've created is 'over the top' (my favorite expression of yours) in every way. it welcomes, it invites, it sooothes, it comforts.
and to think you are safely snuggled in between me # 9 and marion at # 11. and laurel just a step away.
did you know there is a hospital here that has a 100% cure rate for young people under age 30, a 99% cure rate for people over 30, and a 110% cure rate for all special women named renee or jacquie or bella?
i think we should get in the habit of meeting at midnight sometimes and watching the moon together.
i love love love love love love love you. i can't help it...
:)
This is brilliant! Best blogland post ever! One small correction...you took my heart hostage the very first time I met you. Renee, I asked you not to post that photo of me and Fr. Adrian.
Oh what a wonderful place this is!
I'm movin in!
Love, Darla♥
What an awesome home! I love the views and the staircase is devine! Homemade soup, tender loving care. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Hugs
Sherry

I'll be blogging about my Master Cleanse fast this week. Stop by and keep me honest, Renee.
Hi Renee, Wow...your home is AWESOME! Gosh how I would love to visit you! I'd love to live next door to you and be your neighbor!
You're in my thoughts and prayers along with your family.

Beautiful Blogland Lane home, and a beautful post!
My inner little girl is out that door,and playing with fairies.
May our thoughts today be tranquil, Seeking peace.
Listening for God to speak through the fairies.
Renee, how awesome of an idea. I like all the pix but I really like the painted tires, they are awesome. I have an old tire out in back and I think I will paint it brightly. Just a hello and hope all is well. Have a great week and I'm glad your spirits are up.
*streeeetch*

I love your home! It's a sanctuary for the soul. Thank you for inviting us in. XO
I can relate to the doors to the fairies...mine is open :)
I'll be right over for tea! Will the priest be there serving appetizers, or should I bring some sweet and chocolaty treats?
:0)
Awesome!! I agree with your dad!!! hehehe
What a beautiful home. I love the faerie door!
Just off to work to hand in my resignation and head to the airport via the travel agency. Should be there by Thursday. Can't wait to see you!
Thinking of you, Cinta xx
What a lovely home.
Beautiful monday to you Renee.
Love and hugs.
Your home is as welcoming and loving as you are, dear Renee. I want to come visit NOW and stay for a long time. There's even bread at the back door - and for a German like me that's most wonderful... Thinking of you and your family every day. Sending lots of love! Silke

Renee- I am so glad you like it - it was for you from the very start. :) oxoxox Pam
That was my favorite post of the day.
I love your home.
I love your blog home Renee...
It has all the warm and comfort that you have inside of you. Including the child...
I'm going to be setting up my gypsy caravan in your yard I hope you don't mind....
Much love....
Hi Renee,
I enjoyed coming for a visit today and thank you for giving me a lovely time. It was a beautiful post and you have thought of everything.
You, Sheldon, Jacquie and your Mum are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs
Carolyn
Renee, you have given me more than I could ever give you. Love you, girl.
i would love to have a slumber party at your place with ces, bella, bjornik and myself...okay? great conversation and laughter until "wee" hours of the night.. hehehe what fun it would be......
xoxxoxo linda
What a beautiful invitation Renee! I will definitely take you up on that thanks! I think I may avoid the priest serving appetizers though-he is a bit scary!
I will say hello to the fairies though as I do not usually feel very grown up! I did have a lovely holiday thanks!
Sarah x
I may enter the fairy doorway but I might not find my way out again. Hmmm...
Never mind, I don't think I want to be anywhere else but through that magical door anyway!:)
Beautiful home you have Renee in Blog Land.
Thinking about you. Hugs!
Love Jo.xxx
Just found you blog, and it is a big ball of wonderful, sad, inspiring, hope and wonder.
I will keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers.
I will definitely come to the slumber party with you, Linda, Bella and Bjornik but I wonder if I can also watch Lola peel a peach in your kitchen. I heard she eats peaches quite interestingly. :)
Fascinating. Love the priest with the appetizers.
What a lovely home ... very relaxed, open and inviting.
Renee I love you!
Amazing! wonderful, welcoming, warm...just like someone else we all know...
9 and three quarters...I'm so there. Any reference to Harry Potter, even if only a fraction, I'm in! (I'm a pathetic mess. My kids laughing at me on the weekend, me crying at Hermione's love for Ron. So sweet. Me, so sappy.)
3/4 you do what I'm talking about, right?
Now that's a home I'd feel welcome in. It could be that I may never want to leave. It's so full of love and light, acceptance without judgement~just like you raven sister.
I love the twilight table setting.
I could sit there all night and just be still.
Thanks for inviting us to your wonderful place on Blogland Lane.
I'm glad we're neighbors and I love that we're sisters ;)
Sending loving, healing thoughts to you and Sheldon and Jacquie, always.
love,
Lolo

What a glorious place! A place of attention and intention; a place of care and creativity.
Blessings to those who reside there, and those who visit.
I see you sitting on a covered porch, next to a tree that was planted to grow right up the middle - and the roof had to be specially made to make room and light.
There are birds living there, small finches and nuthatches, and two chicadees who spend most of their time eating bits of peanut you've put on the table next to your teacup.
The floor and walls are painted a soft pale yellow, and in the tree's shade there are large ferns and impatiens, and next to the windows, sunflowers.
And you are loved by all. The tree, the squirrels, and all birds, and all your family and friends.
