I got up early and walked to meet my friend Alan for morning coffee. I took a detour down my very favorite street, Victoria Avenue. We looked at a house on this street in 1985 when we were first looking at houses. We couldn't afford it then and we certainly cannot afford it now. The upkeep alone makes me want to lay down on the couch and crash!! Thank goodness for our tiny yard that takes me 20 minutes to mow.
