This house I love. For fifteen years we have lived in this house, years of christmas's, birthday's, grandchildren's birth's, and yes even funeral's is for sale and it feels to me that I am selling my soul.

I just cann't imagine myself living anywhere but here. So I am very sad. Lately it has sent me on a spin of old memories.

Like coming back from camp a week or two ago I smelled leaves burning and it took me back to many many years ago when we used to burn leaves at our house and cook potatoes in the pile oh how wonderful those burnt balls tasted.Does anyone out there have these memories?

And around the corner from our house was a pool room and a parking lots which was magic for it was there I learned to ride a bike, play redrover, hid&seek and made friends with some wonderful people.All of this is just a block away not a city block but a small town block from this house I love.
I watch my grandbabies at play and wonder how much of thier memories now will be great memories like mine are.

I also in years to come will have the memory of American history being made while I watched election in this house. When Obama declared a winner I got down on my knees and thanked God and then started singing we shall overcome and dancing around oh so happy I only wished my Mother had lived to see this happen.History yes lots of history here.

Oh yes there are sad memories also but I am learning as I get older not to dwell to much on them. Too enjoy today as much as I can and to not sweat the small stuff.
