Looking Forward ~ Holding On

I know telling you will make it really  real...

That may be odd since we have a virtual relationship, but I don't feel "virtual" with you.

I have hinted  ~ until now.

Now there is no going back ~ our house is for sale.  

It is all good ~ great really!  But, as Peter asked, "Can you let me know when you are going to get nostalgic about the house?"

He knows me so well ~ and wants to be prepared ~ smart man!

Those holding on feelings aren't in full swing yet, but if history does repeat itself, I will "go there" before I go there, if you know what I mean.

So I am telling you now, before the deal is done & those nostalgic feelings creep in so you can help me look forward.

'Cause forward is going to be AMAZING!

Home on the National Register of Historic Homes

Last year I stumbled upon a very old house that has been calling to me.  It needs me.

And, I think I need it ~ a new HUGE project.

But before we go there, and you are coming with me every step of the way, let's look back a bit here.
