my mom's house

[zestfive]

She put the house up for sale back in 2007 and she's finally leaving it for good in just a few weeks. It's kinda of weird.

LOVE your icon! I went to college with Pauley. She's a great person. :)

Wow! That is beautiful!

And yeah, I feel ya on the weirdness. I don't even like the town where my mom lives (and I grew up) and the house is a whole lot less awesome than your mom's, but there's still a whole lotta my life and memories that happened there. I'm glad my mom is moving and will be happier with the new place, and I really look forward to visiting her there, but I feel a bit weird and even a very little bit sad about not visiting the old house any more.

I totally get that and my son is really aware of his loss...I'm not so much and I wonder if that will change. Perhaps it relates to where I am in my life which is ready to move forward and make some change.

It looks so nice! All that wood and so much light inside! I hope she got a good price.

[zestfive.livejournal.com]

nope, she lost like 60% of her initial asking price. The buyers had a hard time getting financing because it's so "unconventional".

I am still so amazed at how beautiful that place is, and find it a bit unreal that you grew up there.

[zestfive.livejournal.com]

Yes but everything can seem "normal" depending on your exposure! It was a nice place...I'm glad I grew up there.

earth house!! What a nice place.

Yep...a couple of gay guys bought it. I haven't met them yet, my mom says they are her angels!

That is a beautiful house. Like, wow. Seriously, that would go into my dream house category.

I understand your feelings though. When my grandparents moved out of their home, I was devastated. :(

The house was on nearly 10 acres of woods with a creek in the back...I don't think I appreciated it enough growing up but it sure kept me grounded in my love of trees!

Thanks!

Wow, that's a really cool house!

My Mom moved out of my parents' house 2 1/2 years ago (about two years after my Dad died). She still owns it and rents it out. Still kind of weird to visit her in a different house.

The new place my mom went to is really kinda boring but it's in a great location (on the North Shore of MN - BEAUTIFUL)

That is a really cool looking house.

[zestfive.livejournal.com]
