After being on the road from July 20th through July 26th, it is wonderful to be home. There were a few times while we were gone that I wished I could have just put my house on wheels and brought it with me the way the characters in Home did. This wonderful book subtitled Once There Was A House, A House That Was A Home by Alex T. Smith tells the tale for four friends. Each friend has a dream that they want to share with the three others that share the home. When they start sharing them, they realize they really don’t want to do them together. Each one takes off to live their dream with a different part of the house. One takes the door and goes off to be a pirate. The second character named Two takes the wall and goes off to be pirate. Three goes to live underground with the windows. Finally, Four goes off to the big city with the floor. At first, they each enjoy their dreams. After a short time each learns that although they each have part of the house, it isn’t a home without all the friends together. In the end, the characters decide to rebuild their house, add wheels to it and share their dreams with each other in their new mobile home.
Here is the entrance for big machines and apparently big boys.

Stopping by from Mom Loop – I love his garage! My mom would let me have all her old shoeboxes, and I would spend hours making rooms out of them for a dollhouse. Empty boxes are the best! Have a great weekend!
