This is one of my favorite pictures taken by a friend. It's not that it's such a great picture, but it's full of the feeling of this house that I've loved and will be leaving soon. I painted a lot of pictures warmed by the old wood burning stove. I tickled my kids silly on the rugs, spent hours on the phone talking with my best girlfriend about our lives. I looked out the picture window, days and nights when I was particularly lonely, thinking that if only my vision were better I might see a companion somewhere on the horizon. This was the first place that ever felt like home...after so many nomadic years. I hope that the best parts of it are something that I will take with me when I go.

I've been enjoying your journal, by the way. The good doctor pointed me your way, and I've been grateful. :)

AH...but I know that leaving night melancholy. The saddest part is seeing the ol' place empty.

I love this picture!
just that tiny image speaks volumes about your house, which I'm sure is amazing.
Why are you leaving?

I can only imagine you sorry at leaving. I've moved so much in my life, and it's why I've held on so long here now. It's just an apartment, but I decided to decorate and really make it feel like home over the last 7 years. I really love it now, and really do dread the thought of having to move again. It's such a stressful time in a persons life. I really hope that you will experience very little of that in your move.
Hopefully you will settle into your new home in a flash, and grow to love it even more in time. When moving day does come, I hope it will be as peaceful as possible for you, and your family.
Blessings of peace and love...

I realized not long ago that I have a riduculous number of photo albums for someone who is neither a grandmother nor a professional shutterbug. All vain attempts to capture that sense of time and place that this photo so eloquently expresses. May your new home be the occasion for even more beautiful images.

I've been off the radar for a few days -- I still have some occassional internet aversion, it seems.
Great picture -- when we are together this summer, I would love if your friend to join us one afternoon. The pictures we have together are from the tequila-bottle-to-the-head wedding-from-hell. (For other readers, tequila-bottle-to-the-head is not a euphemism...) We are due for some images from a happier time. Namely now!
I like Scruffy's comment -- you sound a rare, kind man, Scruff...

We were considering staying when I thought I got that job in town, but since I didn't, and most job listings are on either coast, it is VERY likely that we are moving.
The whole renovation thing is just a money making sideline... I bitch a lot, but in fact, we actually make quite a bit of money doing it...
