Two Days of CELEBRATING with a
multitude of diverse and wonderful guests. People I would have never imagined came to add their JOY to
the Penny Palace. At times I was
totally speechless. Now I’m wondering if I dreamed it or if it was real? Good thing the visitors signed the
guest list so there is evidence that they were actually here!
There were some touching notes and comments both during
the event and afterward. Here are a few email excerpts:
- “As
soon as I walked through your front doors I felt pure LOVE and
HAPPINESS!”
- “Disneyland,
which is my favorite place in the world, took a backseat on
Saturday.”
- “It
was so comfortable that I just wanted to go home and get my jammies and
slippers on and come right back”.
- “It is
Absolutely Beautiful! Extremely Fun!”
- “To
experience the building of a dream through an incredibly thorough daily
blog, and then to see the final result in all its glory – that was quite
an experience”.
- “I did not expect to be amazed,
charmed, blown away by all the meaning behind everything, the
thoughtfulness of every detail, and the whimsy of an elf door and a dog
doorbell (both functional, no less)”.
- “The house is so very
inviting. You just want to sit and take it all in”.
- “What a lovely home
you have and amazing stories to share. We didn't want to leave”.
- “I left your
enchanting home fulfilled”
Those are pretty awesome reviews!
***************
There is no way to convey in words
the “Magic” of the Penny Palace and the Spirit of the Celebrations.
Saturday,
the 6th was the Annual Fall Potluck with Doc’s co-workers from
school.
Wednesday,
the 10th was a potluck with 20 neighbor families.
Sunday,
the 14th was a potluck/reunion with the Solar Rayce Team alumni
…
and in between there was the Open House!
Numerous times during those events I
just stood back quietly and thought, “This is the purpose of the Penny Palace;
to bring people together; to infect people with Joy!”
***************
The day after the event I had the
thought, “Some of these people ‘came out of the woodwork’ as they might
possibly have done for my funeral!
Sure glad I did not have to die in order to see them. Lots more JOY with this event.”
***************
People who could not attend have
asked for photos. I was way too
busy hugging, leading tours, and crying joy tears to be taking pictures! Thankfully Saturday morning, I took a
quick (2.5 minute) video walk through of the house for you before guests
arrived. Hope that at least gives
you a feel for the house.
Thank You for the Roll you have
played in our Lives.
Tina (and Doc) Shelton
