Funny how fast some things change when others seem so slow!
In a matter of a day, my perspective on the world changed from this:
Too this:
Ok, well not maybe all in one day, but pretty darn near!! We thought when my dad bought this house, that we were just the last house before the
cul-de-sac and that eventually there would only be a couple of homes there we would have to look at!
Oh no....poof and just like that, cul-de-sac gone and turned into a through street. And LOOK at the homes in the background next to the woods. Now those weren't there yesterday I'm sure!!!
So now I can no longer live in denial that I am living in the country. I could always ignore all the homes next to me on the 'other' side of the house and pretend I was still in the country by only looking to the East!!! Did I mention that I MISS my home in the country??? I MISS my home in the country! But.....I have to stay here and take care of dad. Just the way it is in life for me right now.
And in about 6 weeks, dad and I will be heading to the house in Arizona for the winter. And...oh yeah.....I just heard that they put in a new house out there on the empty lot RIGHT NEXT to ours!! What is up with all this change and growth!! I thought the economy was bad! We only had a one year with our 'sort of' country view above here in Indiana. But in Arizona, we had the empty lot for 7 years!!! We could see out!! We could see the top of a mountain in the distance, we could see sunsets!!
Gheesh...how fast a perspective changes!!
