an offer on the house in Creston today. I know this is good news, and it really is, but I will admit to an air of sadness. It means we are not gong back. Of course, we weren't anyway, but as long as the house was there and it was ours, we could have gone back.
It was a good offer and we will come out even. No gain, except for the 3 1/2 good years there, and that is enough. The "farm" as we call it now, held us close and let us be in touch with nature during a time when we needed nurturing from the harsh realities of life. The girls started school in that house. Theo started school in that house. Marty came home to that house. We built the treehouse and spent many happy afternoons having picnics in the yard, and just plain messing around. And then we moved on. We will keep good memories of "the farm" in our hearts for a long time and we pray that the new family will have as many if not more. I always feel like a house blesses the family that lives there, and that sure one did.
