The End Of Gracious Living.

When Martha Stewart decides to leave CT we must all take a moment to evaluate the relentless pursuit of perfection in our own lives. Martha inspired a generation, amassed an empire, fell from grace only to rise again. Inspirational indeed. This bull-ish determination, bordered with lovely hydraengas, sold a lofty ideal to us all; we can be better, and more so, better than our neighbors. We can garden, bake, sew, bill, and relax more aptly than the next guy and we've got the trophies to prove it. On our refinished knotty pine walls of the new family room (formerly mudroom) we have the heads of the Joneses that have come and gone in our competitive lifestyling. "Oh, and that one over there is replication of John the Baptist, reproduced in cream cheese and enamel for our Salome Dance-off fundraiser for the kids' school." Competition breeds excellence and Martha lit the match, a long, recycled, birch, hand-made match near a restored fireplace in Westport, CT. A house called Turkey Hill on 4.3 acres available to you all for the asking price of $8,995,00.00. Race ya?
