Building an Addition
Here it was! We were going to have This conversation. It was so sweet of my daughter to ask, but taking us into their house was too much to ask of the two of them and their family, and I knew that only too well, having had my parents live with us for seventeen years at the end of their lives.
Moving
Our family moved a lot. My mother often said the best way to clean was to move from one home to another every three years. As a very small child, we did seem to move about every three years. But when I was in grade school and beginning junior high, we moved every year for a series of years, and the moves affected my life negatively.
