I owned the 1925 English Tudor styled home in the French Country fashion on the corner of Challen and Remington in Avondale.  I was the 3rd. owner.  At the closing table my attorney asked what is it about that house that causes people to live there so long.  I think it's the wine cellar.

? Neat story... but kinda random...

But, my house is somewhat similar. It had continuous ownership from the early 1930s to 1996 when the wife passed away. The person I bought it from got it willed to her.

I have to say, even though my house isn't one of what I call "wow houses" its feels very comfortable to me, and it is the first house I have lived in, in my adult like, that feels like home.

I enjoyed the neighbors the most--just the best people I've had the pleasure to meet.   They were always friendly and watching out for one another.  Tommy or Cole would cut my yard whenever I wasn't feeling well.

Maybe you could have started it by saying something about how long you lived there....it seems like you started typing in the middle of your story.

I'm not a very good story teller. But I know what you mean when you say I'm random.

I'm happy you feel that way in your house.  My circa 2007 apartment feels that way to.

I guess home is what you make of it.
