So today was day two of getting my parents house ready for a new owner to take possession on Monday. This is the house that l grew up in. My parents had the house built and my Mom and Dad, my older sister and myself moved in during the summer of 1963.
I would have been 7 months at the time. I moved out when I was 20 years old and Melody and I got married.
It is literally full of a lifetime of wonderful memories . It was built as a three bedroom bungalow with an unfinished basement.
As the family got larger my Dad fixed up the basement by adding two bedrooms and bathroom. Prior to that a garage was built in the backyard trees planted in both front and back.
It was a great neighborhood to grow up in with wonderful families all around
Aw, lovely shot of your wonderful family home. It will be a sad moment saying goodbye, and whenever you pass there in the future you will feel nostalgic, but you will always have the good memories.
So wonderful to share so many years there. Sounds like special memories. Thanks for sharing so nice to hear. Hope all goes well for your parents and the new owners.
Growing up in a home all your life is amazing. Mum and Dad are also clearing out to move from their home of over 50 years to a retirement estate. It's hard for them, but seeing they're getting a new house built, it's also exciting.
Oh what wonderful memories. It’s a lovely place, I know it has been bittersweet to get it ready to sell. I hope the new family will have many years of happy memories there.
Mixed emotions, I would imagine. If I get back to the neighborhood where I grew up, I try to run by the old house. The last time I saw it, the owners hadn't made many changes.
Ooh- the end of so much, Brian- it must be sad for you! I'm glad you have been working on this project with your siblings. And all your wonderful memories will stay with you! xo Fav
