I Remember When...........Now Underdtand Why.......
My Mother..Ada Amelia
I now sit in my lovely country home, which I call Amelia Rose Cottage. I sit and think why did I want the cottage look. Then I reflected on my life , and the wonderful memories of growing up at Silver Lake in Michigan. My parents had a small cottage at the lake, it was small but held many family members and friends. I learned how to drive on the roads that led to Devils Lake where we danced at the pavilion and roller skated the evenings away. I grew up there and now understand I want to again have the feel of living in a cottage.
One of my favorite flowers are roses, I also like daisy's and geraniums, but the beauty of a rose stands out as a favorite.
I am sure I have shared with you that my mother's middle name was Amelia, she was named after her Aunt Amelia. When Tammy had a little girl she named her Lindsey and wanted her middle name to be Amelia, named after my mothers middle name. Of course I was delighted with the choice of Lindsey Amelia's name.
The above pictures show the reason why I chose the name of my new home
AMELIA ROSE COTTAGE
The sun room is finished, the curtains are hung, all we have to do is wait for the sun shine and warm weather to enjoy the new little cottage at the lake. Memories have been transformed in to the here and now at Amelia Rose Cottage

Your Mom is lovely! And how special to name your home after her. I loved the pictures....=)
Your blog is so beautiful. And the name is perfect. I have one daughter called Amelia and that's the name of my grandmother and greatgrandmother. Also a lot of cousins of them had the same name, all them because one Queen of Portugal called Amelia, the one that saw her husband and son being killed by republicans.
Loved this, how sweet and what a perfect name. I'm portuguese and I LOVE the name Amelia, it's pretty common portuguese name ;)
Have a great day,
Sandra
