Last year, to settle Mom's estate, my sister and I sold my her house, which was 2 blocks from the house my husband and I built when we got married. We've lived in this house for over 49 years, raised 3 wonderful children, who got married and gave us 6 grandkids. Sure there were ups and downs but this was HOME!!!! and we knew every brick, board, nail and screw that went into it. My husband and I have both lived in this area since we were born. Tomorrow we hand the keys over to new owners, thankfully they are a young family who have one little boy and want more children and a dog.
We've had our new house since the beginning of February so we've been moving stuff out there and staying overnight there many times. The movers were here last week and took all the furniture out so we put our travel trailer in the front driveway and stayed in it while we cleaned the last bit of stuff out of the house and garage.
This is the end of one era and it is sad but in another way we're looking forward to the new adventures and friendships we'll make in the new home.
