Ok, you’re making me cry. It’s a beautiful house. The next occupants will feel that aura of love and life. Good luck to you in your next.
Very well written.
I hope your new home brings you all new joys.
Oh, and we have some far more wimpy but equally beautiful wisteria here. I can only imagine yours.
Awww, well I’m glad you’ve had good tenants. We built this house 46 years ago. Both our kids were raised in this house. I can’t ever see Hub and I anywhere but here. He feels the same way. I hope God is merciful and allows us to stay here until our last breath. This place is our comfort zone. It’s everything to us.
Thanks for sharing your memories.
You should consider short story writing. You are a natural.
May the future bring the best of luck and new memories that continue to enrich lifes journey.
I just watched an interview with Bill Murray. He said his sister owns and lives in the home they grew up in, so he gets to go back and visit, which is nice.
It’s a strange feeling for 3 to 5 months getting used to new digs. I lived in the same home for 37 years and thought I would go insane if I moved anywhere else but alas, the new place is wonderful and my new neighbors are fantastic. Sometimes I miss the old neighborhood so I walk my old paths but I’m just fine. You will be too.
Hopefully you will find a buyer who will appreciate your house.
Good luck with your new house.
Sweet story about your beautiful home. Thanks for posting.
Great story.
That was lovely! I guess nowhere on this earth will be our “permanent home” but we can make great memories wherever we go. As a relative tells me, “Bloom where you’re planted”. Best of luck on the new place!
Nice my friend.
The memories are real and will last for the rest of your life.
Blessings to you as you move toward the future.
PS - nice job on the home.
That is a nice story. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
Lovely home and lovely story. Best wishes for your new adventure.
This is probably my favorite vanity of all time. It reminds me of the houses where I spent significant parts of my life.
That porch is killer.
Oh, and vacant lot? Isn’t that where the homeless and their poop and needles congregate? Lots of fertilizer but no wisteria on Ventura Blvd vacation lots...
Thanks for sharing. Your house is a family member.
Hold the memories, enjoy your new home. Thanks for sharing this!
