I grew up in a home with a LARGE tree out front...
In a neighborhood where you could roam free.
Our neighbors knew our names...
We knew the ins & outs of their homes as they did ours...
And selling lemonade on the weekends was the norm.
These childhood memories i have...
I want my kids to have...to get to experience...
And treasure as i do.
To look back & reminice on the old days...
The good days that use to be...oOo the past!!!
To have a home that's warm...that's safe...
That's inviting for all & welcoming.
This home we have...this home we're leaving behind...
And we're about to journey across country.
We've debated...we've discussed & we've decided it's time...
Time to take the chance...as it's now or never.
So...wish us luck...wish us safe travels...
Because in a few short months we're out of this town!!!
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did, so...
throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor,
catch the trade winds in your sails...explore, dream, discover."
- Mark Twain

Cute blog...I grew up in a neighborhood like you did where everyone knew everyone, and the whole neighborhood was like our playground....My kids have that too and yours will again too!
Good luck with your move....Experiences like this make kids stronger and plus...I think that kids today are much more outgoing and they are so used to meeting so many different kids from different schools through sports and activities that they are very resilient!
looove that quote! good luck with you move! Where are you headed?! xo
How exciting! Good luck with the move. :)
