~BLESS OUR HOME~

Fancy living in a Church? This old church in Kyloe, North Cumberland , England was purchased by a couple . They invested lots of money but the outside stayed the same.

They restored instead of renovated ( 3 times less money )
The couple did there best to recreate the inside like a regular home

Now on to a sad note....Len's dog Rex just died this morning he was over 17 years old...So Len feels very Blessed that he had him that long....Len loved this dog with a passion and Rex loved him with a Passion. He had Rex since he was around 6 weeks old...You see this puppy found Len on the streets of Reno,NV and Rex was a Pit Bull and Len knew no one in their right mind would adopt him and so Len took him home...He never in 17 years ever spent more than hours away from his Boy...This dog went every where that Len did...The dog was never allowed to be off his chain unless in was inside, It was so sad when I seen Len outside burying his Best friend....My heart was just breaking for him...We all get to be so attached to your animals that they become family members to us....So rest in Peace now old boy....." ALL GOOD DOGS GO TO HEAVEN"


I pray all of you have a great day on your side of the mountain....
