You're getting off light. You should ask my children. ;-p

I feel your crazy feelings all the way over here.

I barely looked at FB for a year. The other day I logged in just to discover my whole family had aged 10 years in the last 12 months. They all look like old relatives I knew as a kid and can barely remember. Truthfully, that's about as well as I know my family now, too. But that's another story I didn't see coming. To be told another time.

The house my grandparents built left our family a few years back. My uncle and aunt felt too old to care for it. They wanted to make a sweet deal for me but we just have no intention of living in Dallas again.

It's really weird how old houses feel so alive. Even when people take over an old house and rebuild it, they often talk about the house like it's a creature with bones and personality and some need to breathe a certain way.

Your kids comment spawned an entire upcoming post. I'll tag you when it goes up.

Thanks for leaving the link!
