We bought this house 38 years ago. After my darling passed away the children and I talked about selling it. It's a big two story old fashioned house and I walked from room to room...full of old quilts from family, sewing for the children and my desk for writing...no way can I scale down. Besides, it's paid for. I get lonely in it at night but usually a grandkid will pop in with a youth group and the party is on. We learn to adjust. Love reading about all your rooms.
