Ghosts
Eric and I moved into our house six months ago. You would never know it by how much stuff is still in boxes... ( Hey.... no hurry right? ) :O) We often talk about all the plans we have in the coming years for remodeling and neat things we'd like to do to make the house our home. It is sometimes easy to forget that it used to be someone else's home. But there are still reminders around the house that there was another whole life here that preceded us by a long shot. The previous owner and her husband built this house themselves in 1950 (?) and raised a whole family in it. The owners are gone now..on to the next life, yet the house remains. And here we are - the second life for the house to shelter. And certainly not the last. We often joke about Helen haunting us if we make a wrong move in the remodeling... ( By judging by some of her design choices that i plan to correct... that lady will back for sure.... )
Still sometimes - I get a glimpse of the previous life and begin to wonder what I'll leave behind.

i have the same keys from the lady at belgard...with the same handwriting...there were a bunch of time flys around them...the weird thing is I assumed I may need them and they still sit...unused after 15 years.
this post got deep quick and I drove into it too fast so now I am stuck and I 'll just have to sit here till the water recedes some...is there AAA for philosophical wrecks?
