pride that we all have as Americans! <br /> <br /> I was SO very blessed to have some wonderful elementary teachers in school.<br /> One, Mrs. Mott (my mom really wanted me to have her) was very patriotic.<br /> <br /> Every morning started the same...honoring our country with the flag salute and a patriotic song.<br /> This wasn't just a "routine," we all became the most patriotic students our school had seen!<br /> <br /> I was lucky enough to have Mrs. Mott in 3rd grade, 5th grade and then she was my master teacher as I went through the teacher credentialing program. <br /> Needless to say...she is a big part of my life!<br /> "Barb" as I call her now...is a close family friend, and we love her dearly!<br /> <br /> This song was one of my favorites in her class...she used to really sing it from the heart!<br /> I thought I would spare you from a youtube video of <strike>me singing</strike>&nbsp;the sound of me skinning a cat,<br /> and choose beautiful pictures to these powerful words!<br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">America, The Beautiful</span><br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica,

this deep in the garage at a friend's yard sale.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I asked if she was selling it...and told me the whole story behind it.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> She told me how it was her Nana's.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> How she loved it.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> How the whole family loved it.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> How very special it is.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Then...she told me to "make her an offer."</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Ummm...I couldn't. &nbsp;</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> How do you put a price on that?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Looking back...I should of...right then and there.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Months went by...and I would ask my friend about that hutch.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> She said she wasn't quite ready to sell the hutch, but when she was...she would call me.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> No call.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Still no call.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Nope, she hadn't called yet.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Finally, one random May Sunday morning (actually the Sunday of Clovis Junk Days)</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> my friend called and said I could come and get the hutch!</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img height="640"

enough...hooked up the cattle trailer, grabbed my hubby...</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> and we brought her home!</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Don't you worry Nana...your hutch is WELL LOVED!!!</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> This hutch was beautiful...but, I knew a little "love" (translation...color) would do the trick!</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I started out by cleaning the hutch really well...inside and out.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Then, I took off all the hardware and decided to just clean them and put them back on after I painted and keep them original...they are beautiful!</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator"

home as well...and, I don't have to be so fussy with it!</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I always distress in natural wear areas...near handles, edges, corners and&nbsp;</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> where fingers would have been. &nbsp;Distressing is easy, and can be done using a smooth sanding block if you don't want too much distressing. &nbsp;You can also use a rough grade sandpaper and a power sander for a more chippy, distressed rough-worn look.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align:
