Market Friday goes House Hunting!!
Flowers. There must always be flowers.
With my thoughts
Your heart is next to mine
Caressed by hands of love
My love
Lips to lips, sweet, gentle kiss
Tracing the reality back to my heart
I roll over, and the moment takes its escape.

STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!
I break two
I fried two
I ate two
How many eggs are left ?

ANSWER: 4 Eggs
Explanation:
1 break, fried and ate the same 2 eggs. So there are remaining 4 eggs.
There are two places in your house that you are almost guaranteed to get your money back. One is the kitchen and the other is the bathroom. They really decked this bathroom out with a jacuzzi tub, a gang shower(yes!! I kid you not, it was big enough for eight people.) a bidet, a television and a sauna room, which is right off the bathroom. It has double sinks, a chandelier and I cannot remember if I am missing anything. What I didn't forget was that I am pretty sure I could have a party in there if I was so inclined. I am not
Here is the shower. Tell me you can't fit eight people in there. Seriously.
The Sauna. Everything was so nicely done, well except for perhaps the decorating, It is not quite to my taste, but, decorating is so individual.
The downstairs bar area is set up nicely with plenty of seating. It was not a basement, but rather a walkout, so that afford more lighting. A huge win. It had a popcorn machine, storage room and a sink, microwave and a dishwasher, in case you don't want to run all the way upstairs to wash a dish. This walks right out to the pool
You definitely feel like you are living the life when you stretch out on the full-length deck just for a little relaxing. I bet there was room for thirty people. At least.
This is a broad view of the pool area, where there is an outdoor kitchen with everything you need. They made a huge firepit and a sandbox built right in. Over the fence, you can see an area for the play station and covered picnic area. There are actually 10 acres that are part of the house. Nicely wooded with several fountains, including a huge on in the front of the house.
*This is one of the kid's bedrooms There were only 4 bedrooms but there are really more being used for bedrooms. I wasn't too impressed with the decorating style, but that is an easy fix. I didn't want to overwhelm you, so I didn't put a lot of pictures in. I can say that there is also a laundry, a dining room, an office, four full bathrooms, and several half bathrooms. There is a living room with several sitting areas in the house. A media room with projection screening. A wine cellar and is within seeing the distance of the beach. It was a most fabulous place like that. There is a sprinkler system and everything! It was pure paradise looking at this one. And it is on the approved list! How can you spell Yay???! source for most pictures

A flower. There must be flowers. Always and forever, a flower to color my day. This picture is also dedicated to #FridaySkyBlue #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra. Consider today a twofer.
Some things in life are worth doing it again. The exactness of that feeling will never come again, but, the joy? Does it matter when the joy is still there?
It is nice to have a fresh voice, day in, day out. But the charm of elevating this day trumps finding another to take its place. Have you seriously looked for a blue flower in this season? Happy are those that did.
And just like that, my shopping is done. Until next time! I hope you had fun and next time, we will go to another house and do a bit of comparing. comparison. As always, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit #MarketFriday!! Have a most fabulous day!

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Wow that is super nice I to am sure about some of the finishing styles but that can be adjusted to ones liking I love the entrance way and foyer
Looks a lot bigger that what I would be looking for us when we move but it does look so plush
Thanks for this great post and being an active member and super guide for @steemusa !tip
It is an amazing house but I too am not sure about most of their finishing styles but I can be change to adjust it to my more Mediterranean / English style of living. Well I am sure it is bigger than what you and Lulu will be looking for, my family has been growing larger instead of smaller over the years and it still requires a good amount of space. Having said this I am perfectly comfortable and what I have already and this is just an opportunity to upgrade which I may take advantage oh. Thank you so much for always being apart of Market Friday and as always I wish you a most wonderful weekend.
#MarketFriday loves you!

Oh my word @dswigle, what a house :) The foyer and kitchen are amazing. Just think of the parties you could hold there. Tons of Steemit friends all in one location, a Steemit Meetup! lol Seriously, when do you plan to move? Pretty exciting stuff I would say, truly a dream home my friend! Yikes!
Haha!! I really loved the house! It seems like the perfect answer to my dilemma of needing a few more options. I loved the foyer also and it was nicer in person actually. It had such a GRAND feeling to it. The kitchen was actually up your alley with THREE ovens. And I loved the pot filler, that I don't have now. Misplaced stove and all. :)
I like that everyone can sit around the kitchen and talk while you cook. It felt just right.
I am looking at houses right now. I go see another one today, but, I have to admit, I can tell you already that I love this one. A meetup! What a great idea!!! LOL
It truly is a dream home to me. Thank you for stopping by and saying hello and leaving those kind words behind! Appreciated and I hope you have a most wonderful weekend!

That is a decent house, good thing I don't have the resources to buy it.
Here is my entry of this weekCheese And More By Henry Willing For MarketFriday
And here I was thinking that it was a good thing that I did have the resources to buy it! Everything about the house is perfect especially the fact that my family spend a lot of time coming to visit me and and this will nicely accommodate everybody. While the house is bigger than what I actually need in the bank scheme of things oh, it is exactly what I need. I am one of nine kids and it always seems like there's an extra half-dozen people in my house visiting. And I love every single minute of it. We will see how it all pans out because the house that I am in right now is certainly big enough but lacks certain features. I hope you are having an amazing week and I want to thank you for leaving your link.
#MarketFriday loves you!

Here is my entry for this week, Denise:
https://steempeak.com/esteem/@fitinfun/informal-alley-market-bangkok-thailand
What a stunner of a house. I hope you will have help if you get it. I see a lot of dusting in the future! I love the outside space and kitchen. What a place to flop down into and never leave.
The newer houses have amazing filtration and don't need dusting like older ones. My current house is that way, so that doesn't worry me. Besides, I clean a little bit every day and so it never seems overwhelming! That is my story and I'm sticking to it!
Hope You are well and things are going good! Oh! Bangkok! I know how you love it!
#MarketFriday loves you!
!tip.20
Yes, i did get a week in Bangkok for an unexpected trip. I really do love that place. Fingers crossed for STEEMFest. I will be there, but maybe not with a conference ticket!
Good for you on keeping up with cleaning. That is one of my worst skills :)
It's actually not too bad for me because I like to putter around when I'm at the house as opposed to sitting down and doing nothing. It takes listen half hour a day to tidy up and dust something or Swiffer something. I'm usually good about putting everything in its place so that everything pretty much keeps itself straightened up. My mom had nine kids and did this religiously and our house was never a mess, so it seems to work and I don't seem to work very hard at it so I'll stick with that. Anyway, to each his own and it doesn't bother me if people don't keep their house the same as me and I hope it doesn't bother anybody mine seems to be run by a fanatic. LOL Anyway I am jealous that you will probably get to Bangkok as I know I will not be there, but will be off traveling on a different Adventure at the time. They say the timing is everything and it seems it is not my time to be there. You'll have to take lots of pictures! I had to get a giggle out of you're saying that it might not be with a conference ticket. Is that sort of like skipping school?
Haha! I read a post by someone who mentioned spending all of the last STEEMFest outside smoking even though he had paid the max price! I might be sitting on the curb crying.
I will be there for sure since the dates coincide with my next time I need to leave Malaysia with my visa and Bangkok being the cheapest place to go anyway. The hostel I booked is about $30 usd for a week and costs about 15 cents to get to the venue on one quick bus.
My mom kept an immaculate house and it did not rub off on me one bit. I would rather move than clean :)
Oh my God! You are hysterical. You would rather move than clean. I have to say that's probably the funniest thing I've heard today. I'm excited that you get to go to the steam Fest and perhaps just a tad jealous. All the people you'll get to see! That's pretty awesome. Well I am very glad for you and I am so happy that things coincided that way and that you actually get a relatively cheap hostel. I know I know hear from you before you go but just know that I'll be thinking about you!
TY, @dswigle. I'm glad to make you laugh. My mom did not think this was so funny, lol. I have "nomad" on my profile for many reasons, and cleaning is on that list.
It is interesting that all the sellers come to the places in the street to sell their stuff!!
It's very helpful with all the traffic issues in Bangkok. I would never attempt to drive there.
I think it is a beauty of a house! I can see you really decorating it up with your amazingly good taste. Just think of all the Christmas decorations!
I think I would insist on a rug in the foyer though. That marble must be slippery when wet.
I love all the trees surrounding it and 10 acres is just nice!
That shower is huge and I can see you getting into saunas!
Nothing not to love about this house! It is gorgeous. Hits me in all the right spot!!
Thank you!! I loved it. I love them all, don't I? Well, this one, in particular, had a lot of things that really appealed to me. I was very happy with the kitchen and that is my place I spend a lot of time, so I was pleased and the bedroom, even though I didn't show it, was stunning with his and hers walk-in closets.
The bathroom is better than the one I have not and I love my bathroom, but it is actually too large. I am not a fan of huge bathrooms or bedrooms. I would rather have square footage in the living area.
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out and leaving your kind words behind. #MarketWeekend awaits you! LOL
#MarketFriday loves you!

Oh yes, yes, market weekend!
Say that photo of you is stunningly nice. Look at those eyes watching us and that ever so slight smile. Makes me wonder what caused such a nice smile!
Oh, seriously. I walk around with a smile on my face. Perpetually happy.Doncha know?

Thanks so much for dropping off your link for your Market weekend. You're a little early so if you want to take it back and bring it up again oh, I won't hold it against you. I'm already sensing a nautical- theme Here. You know how I love the water. Vitamin sea, that is.
Thanks so much for the words and even though I sort of had a good Market Friday I got absolutely nothing done as far as the post's go, so I need to take points off for that. It was, however a very nice day and there was lots of sunshine and happiness involved.
Thank you for participating in working Friday and as always, I wish you a wonderful weekend.

Well, I didn't understand if this is your home, it will be your home or you are still looking (or not). I hope you will forgive my lack of understanding.
About the house ... I like it, of course. When I was young I dreamed of something similar (but smaller) reading hundreds of Interior Design magazines.
I like the kitchen and the bathroom. I prefer the bedroom a little less decorated.
If you are going to buy the house, I am happy for you and your large family.
This week I wrote about the holy ones (a little). It's a blog I started last week and I couldn't finish it in time ...
Some Will Agree That This Is A Market Too ... Others Will Be Upset!
About the house, it is one that I am looking at to buy as I always seem to have so much family here. It might be my brothers or sisters or even extended family, but there always seems to be a congregation and I have never minded but this is not fortunity to expand and make it more comfortable for all, especially with the pool and the outdoor eating area. Although there is a pool where I am now, it is a community pool and shared by my neighborhood. Well that leaves me off the hook as far as pool maintenance so, there is no privacy and although I am okay with that this seems to be a nicer option. It has a lot of extra features that this house does not have and although I could easily live without them oh, this is an opportunity to have them in my house. So make no mistake oh, it is not a done deal, but I am considering moving up just a little bit. That being said, I will be looking at another one today so next week I will post about that and the differences and so now you know what working Friday will be next week. I do love going through the architectural digest magazines and I still read interior design magazines because I love and seeing what they do and some of the ideas I incorporate into my own home. The kitchen and bathroom are my favorite rooms and as you also mentioned, the bedroom needs to be a little less decorated for me. I am not a fan of how they decorated the entire house because honestly, the house screams Mediterranean and they decorated it like cowboy. But, to each his own and I will happily move in if this is the house I choose and redecorate to my taste.
I was very excited to see the blog that you posted because it is something that I would do and truly, it is a market as they sell plenty of religious paraphernalia. On top of that I get a free history lesson and I get to you visually enjoy a piece of architectural Beauty. Market Friday does not get any better than that. I want to thank you for taking the time and energy to put such a beautiful post together.
Have a great weekend!
#MarketFriday loves you!

I understand, you really intend to buy a house. This is a very exciting thing and you have to see more houses to choose from. I wonder if it's in the same area you live in now or you intend to move somewhere else.
It's a choice and an important change in the way of life ... I like that, but you have to choose well.
I wish you good luck and good inspiration in this difficult activity.
Mostly the post about the monastery was written for you and I'm glad it reached its destination. Thank you!
Well, I have to go where the job sends me, so this probably won't be my last move, of course I just win the lottery and quit work all together. LOL you've got it perfectly straight Dan. Most excellent
It might not be a market, but I love the post and interesting history and photos!!
Thank you very much! It was hard to write and I'm glad you liked it.
