Don't Look Back

"A place to live could shelter and nurture you like a lover's arms, then turn on you one day and leave you out in the cold for reasons you barely understood."  

Well, this abode we loved didn't turn on us, but the economy did.  In ten days, it will be a year since our last night in this home.  Now we are giving up the keys this week.   I am so glad for the years we had to enjoy this place and the people that graced our doorstep and stayed and lived with us.  It was a joy to choose all the things to make it what we wanted.  It was enjoyable to watch my husband and his crew put it together.

As long as I have my memory, I will revisit this home in my mind and think of the things that were so special to me.   I can walk through the rooms and touch the walls and sit in my favorite places..... Of course only in my memory.......
