Pretty little house


Our lease at the place we're renting now will be up in the late spring, and I've been thinking about where to live next. I will be living here by myself, now, just me and Jack. Chris will return to Los Angeles to teach.

So I will be downsizing for my next home. I've been looking and I think I've found a good place. It's in my neighborhood - just around the corner from our current place. It's a good block, safe and beautiful and near the park where I like to walk Jack.


It's a half a shotgun double, a little cottage. It's freshly renovated, and it has a nice backyard for Jack. I'm hoping this will come through. We're getting into the paperwork and legal stuff right now, and we'll see how it goes.

I was talking to a friend about my decision, and she listened patiently to my listing of the pros and cons. Then she said, "Does it feel like home?"

Yes.

Pretty little house!

  2. But is it far enough way from all that non-stop partying 'music'? I mean, how are you going to be able to write 'The Great American Novel' with all that noise going on?

  5. How wonderful.
    I'm always conflicted about my county living that I've done for the past forty years and my love of a place in the city, but which city, apartment or small house, beach or downtown. My pipe dreams....
