It's more than just a house. We've lived here for over forty years. I was seven months pregnant with Ryan when we moved here. The first house we bought was taken over so that a new interstate could be built through town. We found this brick house and were the first ones to look at it. There was no negotiation. We loved it at first sight. It had everything we wanted in a house...brick and stone construction, a fireplace, and a nice neighborhood. I actually grew up a mile down the road. It is on an almost private street and peaceful.
We really didn't make many changes to it until 2006 when we put on the addition. There was new roofing and driveway paving but other than that it has served us well.
It isn't a large home but it is cozy. And now that the rain has forced us indoors I am so happy to cuddle in my home.

What a snugly post, Peggy! We had our first light snowfall yesterday. Out came the flannel sheets for the bed, on went the fireplace ~ This morning I'm curled up in front of the fire. I was thinking yesterday that you would soon put up a comfortable post like this one. It's amazing to me that you have lived for 40 years in one place and that it's so close to where you grew up. You have deep, deep roots. No wonder you seem so centered! Have a comfy weekend!
