I really like my house and it is paid for. I can pay both installments of my real estate taxes in a single check that is under $400. (Pays to be old and on social security) I like my neighbors, yes Eye, even you!
Aside from the bad stuff that happens, there is a lot of good stuff happening. I can afford to live in my home and not have to work, which frees me up for volunteering on a lot of neighborhood stuff. Just finished folding the new edition of East Bluff News, going to a meeting tonight, helped arrange the upcoming Coffee With The Cops, will attend the Senior Advance meeting this month and volunteer at the new food pantry when it officially opens on 9/26. I am hopeful the schools will improve under this new leadership. I can get most places in 15 minutes or less. I could go on and on, but I will stop with the highlights. I agree with tnt, "home is home"!
