Many of your references agree with mine.
We bought our lake property in ‘97. Built a new house in ‘02.

Is it time to move on ?
My age says no...

Comfort, simplicity and routine have their place. Good luck.

That was beautiful. I hope you have wonderful memories in your new home, and I hope the new owners of this home will love it and cherish it as much as you do.

What a beautiful house. I always thought females had a hard time letting go......I guess not. Memories are precious but making new ones ain’t so bad. Good luck Skooz!

I have fond memories of my old houses too. When I go up to the Boston area, I try to take a tour of the three houses I lived in while my kids were growing up. The first house they were babies, just a starter ranch. The second house was a simple colonial where they went from toddlers to teenagers and the third house was a "McMansion" where they grew up and moved out. Then my wife and I moved to NYC area by ourselves and started a new chapter in our lives.

Always a bittersweet experience moving from your home and leaving memories behind but then there's always the promise of a new beginning. Good luck in your new home and you might want to drive by the "old house" from time to time.

Similar to the the story of our house in Roseville. We watched it being built. We planted the trees that have now reached maturity. I was born and lived my whole life in California. Got to get out while we can.

That was moving and beautifully written.

I wonder...and this is just a suggestion...if you shouldn’t write it down and leave it for the next owners.

They might be nice people who would appreciate it, or they may be the opposite. But if they are people of substance, perhaps your letter will stay with the house (or rather, the home). And maybe they will add their own when they leave.

My father died four days after we moved in and I never got to show it to him.

Your father saw the house because he built the home.

I can see why you’re reluctant to leave. The walls will never forget. The stories they could tell.

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.
