It has been C R A Z Y busy around here.... I am currently living among a sea of cardboard and packing tape.... cardboard boxes are everywhere... mostly packed.... because ....the house is coming DOWN ! finally ! I loved this cute litte 900 square foot bungalow that my "dh" bought in 1980 for $50,000. It was built in 1942 ~ It shakes when the kids run thru... The wiring is OLD... The roof leaks... It has termites... But the time has come the walrus said ....
(photo taken in 2006)... (for the MISSING circle journal...don't get me started on that THEFT )...Surprised at how many photos I have of the kids in the front yard... playing in the sprinkler, trick or treating, riding bikes... and NONE of them have the house in the background...I have never just taken photos of just the house... NOTE to self... do THAT !......Well, here we are, 2009... as far as I know No deaths have occured in this house...although several close calls as of late, I tell you, (moving is STRESSFUL)... Lives have been concieved here....Lots of "firsts" for many of those who have lived here...This little house has been added onto and "remodeled" as best as we could...as more children filled it we did what we could to be comfortable... but NO LONGER...
In approximatley 2 weeks... FOURTEEN DAYS... a bulldozer will be knocking her DOWN ! all to make way for....
I can hardly wait. I will share some interior photos a bit later... have to get the girls to bed as this is the LAST week of school.... 3 1/2 day left exactly !
I am exhausted.... the garage was unloaded / cleaned out and packed up today... 1/2 into a P.O.D. and 1/2 by the street with a "free stuff! please take anything"... and THEY did take! Still a Peg Pergo stroller out there if you want it.... I am DONE with strollers !
So, good night. Sleep tight ! xo Catherine
