Home

Welcome to my 200 year old farmhouse, nestled in the rolling hills of the beautiful Finger Lakes area in Upstate New York. The Stevens family has lived on this land for five generations.
My husband and I acquired the old homestead after it had been vacant for years. It was barely live-able. Over the next 40 years we turned this old house into a lovely, comfie, home. Sadly, I’m now a widow, but I have two sons and seven beautiful grandkids who call me Mimmy.
If I could “pick” any place on earth to live – I would stay right here to welcome friends and family through this door. This is Mimmy’s Pick-ety Place where love and creativity abound.
A…B…C…D…E…F…?
I’m thankful for a friend who taught me that people are like letters in the alphabet. Each one of us has a sound to make. Your sound will be uniquely different than mine. Every sound is needed to speak the English language. Some letters like “o” may be used more that the letter “z”, but without both we would never have a “zoo.” So, I am attempting to make my sound and in the process…

Granted, it’s not very glamorous, but it’s where I go at dawn for quiet time. A healing spot.
Many of my blogs will be on growing in God, grief, loss, humor, the elderly, caregiving, crafts, kids, home decorating, art and much much more. Hope you stay connected. I’d love to hear your comments.
Love your little set up here, Marji! You did a great job…now to read them all!
I love your blog, and your house is so cute but I always loved it. I don’t have a way to put pictures on mine but I would like to soon. Wayne’s wife Korana is good at this stuff but also very busy. I have some pictures for you. I think you will love them. They are from Jon and Virginia’s graduation.
