Reflections of This Home

Share
Next month, I'll be in my current home 29 years. This is the longest that I have lived in one spot in my entire life. And I wasn't planning on being here this long. But this is the first house that I bought and I've been held hostage by the mortgage payments ever since.

As I look about the house I remember how bare was I didn't have much in the way of home furniture. The bed was a papason cushion. Towels were pinned as drapes to cover the windows. Milk crates served as both table and chair. Thirty years later, I may not be living the life of Riley. But I am much more comfortable than those days.
