The End of An Era~


Well, it started in May of 1990—18 years ago. I am getting an offer on the house tomorrow night. The people who are buying it have wanted it since it went on the market last year. But now they are finally getting around to buying it (now that I am practically giving it away......). So in the next month or so, I might find myself living in a new(er) house.

So here's the question for all of you: at first I was trying to find a house that would be a good house for me (i.e., smaller, but with still enough space). I wanted space for my kids to come visit, and a big family room for giving showers and Christmas family parties——and a good-sized back-yard for grand-kids to come and play. But if none of the grand-kids are going to be around except once a year, then it will change the kind of house I am looking for. It seems like this is the trend we are moving towards. As soon as Jenny and Tyler move (maybe in the next month also), then it will be only me and Tasha who live in this area and she will be going away to college. So maybe I don't need a house big enough for people to come visit and stay with me. What do you all think?
