I want to thank you for that beautiful house, I really am grateful for this gift. However keeping it was not feasible even if we really liked the neighborhood.
The cost of living in this beauty was too much for us and our peace of mind.
at one point in your life we need to realize what we can and can't afford and that is how the cookie crumbles.
Your friends were not shy in voicing their opinions....they were sad I was selling the house. That house was full of beautiful memories for them...but now I realize full of stress and sorrow for me.
Getting rid of the books was as difficult as one of Hercules
challenge! WORD
Carport after 1-800 you know...
thank you guys, you were lifesavers!
Last pic of the kitchen...I will miss those curtains...
dining room and whatever space all empty now
the white living room before my friend Denise came
to pick up goodies....
I have endured my Dad's friends opinions and judgement for the last 3 1/2 years...
so here it is...
I am artistic, but not an artist.
I do not have the same set of values you have.
and that is okay.
doesn't mean that I am inferior to you....
yes I got a lot of that vibe
so I sold my Dad's house so I could provide for my girlfriend,
my daughter and myself.
so on that note...
have a great evening
and stay thrifty!

Proud of you for sticking to your values and knowing what you can and can't do. Hugs!
It was your Dad's home...not really yours. Others feel fine to voice opinions but have no real idea of what it took to stay there. You are starting a new life now - so happy for you!
Thank you girls! I love hearing from you. You are so positive and supportive!
Miss Vee! Long time no "see"!
Ohhhhhhh honey! I lived with my parents furniture for many years before I finally snapped out of it. It was never my taste so it was almost like a loyalty thing. It was also a chain that kept me from living "my way" in "my space". My mum had died when I was 17 so I subconsciously thought that that was disloyal. Not true. I should have done it years early. We don't need the possessions because we have the memories.
You did exactly what you needed for YOU to be at peace.

Thank you Maureen! I need to know that I am not the only person living this!
