Today, we have lived in our house for 24 years! Wow! That is such a long time. I love my house and everything about it - the style, the space and the location. *Ü* I have been reminscing about all of the memories I have here. All of the Christmases we have spent, all of the summers in the garden, all of the family and friends we have shared a meal with. I wouldn't like to count how many Cadbury hot chocolates or biscuits I have had...nor cakes and desserts. Eeek! Aahh...but the joy and delights of them all.
Our 3 daughters spent their childhood/youth here. All 6 of our grandchildren only know this house of ours. We fostered 5 children total and housed umpteen students as well as give a home to missionaries from our church whilst they have served a mission in this area.
Two of our pets are buried in the garden - our Birman cat and Doberman dog. I have held crops and taught scrapbooking classes here, held numerous parties and BBQs, Karaoke evenings and church meetings.
I have enjoyed learning how to use a computer and then spending time online with family and friends as well as making new friends throughout the world through the love of my hobbies. There has been laughter, tears and pain shared in my home. It is my heaven on earth and I am so happy to live where I do.
There is no place like home!

ditto the above - it's funny that bricks and mortar can hold sooo many precious memories for us!
what wonderful journaling Glen - love the thoughts and memories you have about your home - never thought to journal in that way before, but you are so right our homes bring about such a lot of memories.
well done
