You know, it may not look fancy, but that made it special.Abbie Smithhttp://www.nelsonsousa.ca/about-alberta-mortgage-brokers.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-87696566718844486642008-07-30T20:01:00.000-04:002008-07-30T20:01:00.000-04:00What a lovely home, and I'm sorry it won't be a pa...What a lovely home, and I'm sorry it won't be a part of your children's lives anymore! But how awesome for you to have all those memories - a lake home is so special.<BR/><BR/>I have the best memories of my grandma's house in Michigan. Always an open door with lots of family members in and out. It's where my mom was born and lived until she was grown. The house was razed a few years back (well, like a decade back if I really think about it!) to make room for duplexes or something. That was sad. It's really strange to go back to Michigan and not have Grandma's house to go to. She's gone, too, but I WILL see her again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-75708201253551448992008-07-30T20:00:00.000-04:002008-07-30T20:00:00.000-04:00What a lovely home, and I'm sorry it won't be a pa...What a lovely home, and I'm sorry it won't be a part of your children's lives anymore!

I had several homes. (You can <A HREF="http://home.comcast.net/~roseinthemorning/World.html" REL="nofollow">click here</A> to see a list of all the places I've lived, if you really want to know.) My dad was in the army, so we moved frequently. I've lived in military housing (some apartments -- some townhomes -- some duplexes), individual "civilian" homes (some rented -- some purchased), dorms in college, seminary housing, etc. As far as a "special" childhood home, the house where my mother grew up is special. It was one of the only "constants" in my life. It's an old farmhouse in Sapulpa, Oklahoma.<BR/><BR/>* Do you imagine that your children will someday "come home" to your current house, or do you see yourself moving someday? I imagine that we'll move someday... before they're old enough to "come home." But, who knows -- God may have other plans!<BR/><BR/>Want to tell me anything else about a home to which you were especially attached? I'd love to hear it! There's so many memories flooding my head. This nostalgia thing is quite a "touchy-feely" topic, don'tcha think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-14867763681557493572008-07-28T21:46:00.000-04:002008-07-28T21:46:00.000-04:00I lived in the same house from the time I came hom...I lived in the same house from the time I came home from the hospital until I got married.<BR/><BR/>Since we live in base housing, I know my kids won't be coming home to this one. Hopefully our next home will be our forever one, and I sure hope once my kids move out, they'll bring their families back!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584986826808083846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-53318625924887168662008-07-27T21:25:00.000-04:002008-07-27T21:25:00.000-04:00My favorite childhood home was a log cabin we live...My favorite childhood home was a log cabin we lived in when I was 8-10 years old. It was a real log cabin in the woods, and I loved it because I was really in to reading the Little House on the Prairie series, and I could really play Little House at that house.:-)<BR/>The house had a loft that I used as a playroom and I could look down on everyone in the great room while I played.<BR/><BR/>I really like the house we live in now- even though it is a little small for all six of us. If we do some work and add on, I could see living in this house as our children grow and having this as a place they could come home to.<BR/><BR/>Leah<BR/>http:www.homeschoolblogger.com/lcourtneymomLeah Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812333478201076333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-2615560773299788622008-07-27T07:37:00.000-04:002008-07-27T07:37:00.000-04:00Ugh, your description made me long for a lake hous...Ugh, your description made me long for a lake house we used to go to a few times each summer. SO many memories there. Unfortunately, the home belonged to my mom's husband's family, so when they divorced, we never saw the house again. :( It is my dream to someday have something like that. Probably won't ever happen, but maybe we could rent one for a week sometime!Cindy-Still His Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00699695957294293616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-12034998373982836192008-07-26T23:17:00.000-04:002008-07-26T23:17:00.000-04:00that sounds wonderful! i know what you mean about ...that sounds wonderful! i know what you mean about wanting your kids to share in those memories. when my grandparents died and we had to sell their house i was so sad! <BR/><BR/>i hope we stay here forever and it will always be a home my kids can come back to. but if we don't, i know that will be ok too.Melissa Stoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839619836478423452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-76489633573260246782008-07-26T22:36:00.000-04:002008-07-26T22:36:00.000-04:00We moved from West Seneca, NY when I was 9 - a big...We moved from West Seneca, NY when I was 9 - a big move, to San Jose, CA. I would like my kids to see that house but I am not too nostalgic about it. The house my kids consider home is the one we left behind in Oregon when we moved to Pennsylvania last year. It's rented out; we left with the idea that we'd be back. We aren't so sure of that anymore, though... <BR/><BR/>The house we live in now is a decent house; it's home now but not likely to be a forever sort of home. We figure when my husband's done with school and working again we'll move - either back to Oregon, someplace completely different, or to a different house in this area. <BR/><BR/>Maybe that's when I'll finally get a front porch!Marbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396985630486715494noreply@blogger.com
