The Safe Place by gardenfolk

The Safe Place

The ache for home
lives in all of us,
the safe place
where we can go
as we are and
not be questioned.
...Maya Angelou

We moved to this home 25 years ago today! I have moved 3 times, always in May.

This photo was taken almost 3 years ago after we got a new roof. After that, we had the house painted a slightly different shade and rebuilt our back balcony. There are always more projects and maintenance to be done. Home sweet home.

4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 1/2 car garage. 3500 sq ft on a third of an acre.
One husband, one dog and one cat.❤️

I was born in California and always lived in California. It is approaching the time to think about a downsize in the next few years. I am wondering about a change but where to go is the big question. Another state? Canada? I don’t think I want to go to outer space.
It looks a lovely safe haven.

I love your story. We just "downsized." What we actually did was find a home with all that we need on one floor. And I have a laundry room for the very first time. But we have 3 bonus rooms upstairs that we somehow have managed to fill.

A great place to live. Difficult decision to leave all these memories.

THREE YEARS since you've done the roof? It can't be. Your house looks great.

Words and image resonate together.
