One of lifes blessings.

Life is full of so many blessings. To recognize and remember them is a blessing all in its own. A kind Gentleman blessed our family a few years ago with a home to live in when money was tight and we struggled with our fast growing little family. His plans at the time were to rip it down and build something of value in its place. After a bit of cleaning, paint, and floor repairs we were able to move in. We had planned to get out of his way as soon as possible, so that he could continue with his demolition plans. We soon found our selves enjoying and loving the little house and all the happy memories that were being created within its walls. Our neighbor, ( The owner) came to us one day and let us know that he loved having us there and enjoyed watching the little one race about and play, he said we brought life and happieness to all the neighbors and wanted us to stay as long as we would like. We stayed in that cute, (but falling apart) little house for two years, and loved it. We then told our neighbor that we were looking for a house and really would be out of his way soon, that is when he informed us that he was giving us the little house. Our first home we ever owned was a gift and an incredible blessing. We lived in the home for another year, giving it the much needed TLC, while enjoying the blessing of good neighbors. But our family continued to grow and was quickly out growing our much loved little home, and so we had to moved on. Our little house was listed today, a happy and yet strangely emotional feeling. Many wonderful and happy memories were created there. We are truly enjoying the space of our new home, but will forever keep with us the happy memories of Our first little home, the laughter and joy with in its walls and the chain of blessings created by on kind gentleman. So here are a few pictures of our little home before and after the TLC. This house was built in 1920's.
