Family home

This house in the Dogtown neighborhood of St. Louis, MO was bought by my grandparents when my mom was 16. My uncle bought it from them when he graduated from college and his wife and son (only sort of, 'cause he's in college) live in it still (my uncle passed away 5 years ago).

If I had a million dollars...or even $20...

I found this video about Michael Reynold's Earthship project on the blog One Man Gathers What Another Man Spills, today.

The above image is the start of a house they built in France. They use old tires for the exterior walls--they are packed with dirt-- and old sheet metal from appliances and glass bottles and aluminum cans to build houses that are completely off-grid and sustainable. How cool would it be to own to one?!

We went to St. Louis Friday night to celebrate some friends' recent elopement. This is a shot I grabbed while speeding down the highway on Saturday, heading back home.
