Goodbye to my sweet, nearly 60 years old, lovable, charming, cluttered, 4,000 sq. ft. home. You have been kind and patient. Although you have required many long hours of maintenance, labor, and costly repairs we have loved every minute of our lives with you. The spacious side and front yard provided John, Natalie, and I with forced yardwork many fall mornings. The kidney bean shaped swimming pool and large back porch helped me host many social functions during my high school years and provided entertainment for all of the cousins during the summer months. I will miss waking up early to dive into your cool, loving waters. I will miss my large navy blue bedroom decorated in a pale green and all sorts of blues. I will miss the old wooden shutters on my window that I would open each morning, first thing. I would put my hand against the window to test the weather then report to my sister. I will miss the sunroom, my favorite room in the house, with its pale yellow walls and inviting yellow and white plush sofas. I love it for its oversized bay windows and bamboo curtains that rolled up by a string, which I have never before seen. I love how the bookshelves in there are so full that the shelves literally are bent inwards due to the heavy weight. I hope you find a family or couple or individual that appreciates you, loves you, respects you, and doesn't change you too too much. xoxo, ags.
As mentioned before, my parents are selling the first home they ever bought. I just realized that in a small town it is likely that I will know the buyers. Oh, I hope not.
