Dangerous Business

Well, this past Tuesday I went down to Berry to spend some time with Lauren. We went and got a pizza, and then she took me up to the House of Dreams at the college.  It is an absolutely gorgeous place. It is no wonder that it got the name that it has. It’s both a dream house, and a place where dreams come from. There is a small fish pond up there, and even a small herb garden. It was absolutely wonderful.
We stayed there for a couple hours just eating pizza and hanging out. It was a place that I could have easily stayed at all day.

I am planning on making a return trip there with a notebook and pens, and just writing until my hand falls off.
It was very conducive to writing. On either side of the living room are really big windows with a gorgeous view. The sun floods in, and it is so relaxing to just sit there.
If you don’t feel like staying inside, the sound of trickling water and the smell of rosemary and sage in the garden are gifts from God. Man, it is truly an amazing place up there.

Lauren was telling me that the students built it for the founder of the college (Martha Berry) in her later years. I am not entirely sure if she lived there or not, but from the sounds of it… she did spend a great deal of time there. I will take my camera with me next time, and post some pictures.
