The boys would always ask to get dropped off at the top of the driveway.....they loved racing my car home.
We miss Grandma and Grandpa's pool so much. I had many fun conversations with my mom and sister pool side.
We miss the big toad in their fun little pond.
We loved having a big deck and yard. The yard. Greg does not miss mowing it {took him 3 hrs}, but I miss all the water sports we used to play.
I sense a theme....one of the things we miss the most is our private outdoor space.
The playroom.
There were many games of tag played in this room {great during the winter}.....I remember not having a clue about what to do with all the space. Funny how things change {or stay the same?}. Now, I have no clue what to do with lack of space. I also remember how long it took us to pick out the wood for the floors....the paint colors. For those who had been in this room.....do you remember the view? Ahhh, I loved it especially during the winter. Though, now our view is much more entertaining.....wish I could put into words the things I viewed today!
This room was changed often. I dragged those cheap bookcases from room to room. I remember when they collapsed in the middle of the night .
I remember what a trooper Greg was....building my rain gutter bookshelves.
One of the first things we will install in our home {hoping}.
From what I hear, the new owners have not done a thing to our old house.
Thanks for indulging me. Greg is out of town.....it's super hot outside....so it was fun to take a little trip down memory lane.These photos actually get me excited for our next home. Who knows when it will happen, but it's so fun to imagine. In the meantime, we make the best of today, but also want to be thankful for yesterday. Good times.

I feel ya sister! :) I miss many things about my old big home too. Seeing your playroom/school room took me down memory lane too. Hope all is well my friend. :)
I remember all those!!! What a beautiful home you had, and how exciting to plan for your new one!!
Oh my word...I remember when your bookcases fell down too! Well at least the story and post about them. I know...walks down memory lane are always fun...sometimes sad, but always good too. Don't ever want to forget where we have been...it made us who we were. Great to check in with you again.
Alicia and Darcie beat me to it but I remember several of your posts with those pictures and stories. It is sooo hott!! Stay inside and reminisce!
You gals have been beside me through all the crazy changes! We've all had changes....new babies, a few of us have moved, and other changes! Amazing. XXOO
