Home, Sweet Home
We're going out to buy our Christmas tree tomorrow. And yesterday I found a nice red berry and twig wreath for cheapo at Kohl's. I have to admit that I am among the ranks of atheists who love Christmas. I just can't help it. But the thing that occurs to me this year is that the longer we live in this house, the more I love it. Sure, it's got some issues, but we are slowly solving them one by one. I have gotten used to the one small bathroom. I've decided that the eat-in kitchen is actually really convenient and cozy. My rainbow colors of paint make me very very happy. And I just love the way the sun comes in all the front windows on nice days. I love the forsythia bush in front, that glows a beautiful yellow color all summer. The longer we're here, the more I think there's not really any earthly reason we'd need a larger house. I know we will probably sell this house eventually, but after all the time, effort, and love we've put into it, it will be difficult.
