Change is inevitable and some changes are good. My husband is retiring. We lived in a parsonage. Where do we want to live? Our parents are gone, our children grown, his grandchildren grown, my grandchildren both grown and young and here in Indiana. We like our small town. We have been here for 15 years. We have ties here- so the search for a house began. I got on line and realized the house I loved most of all in Middletown was still on the market and had been reduced in price. Well that search took about 15 minutes... We bought it. We love it. It is a perfect place for us, our creativity, our family. I call it Spruce Lawn, or the Doll house. 
   Moving has been stressful and painful. It started pre-move with a fall and a broken leg- then here came the shingles....(stress related?) but I am getting better, and the grandkids visit each weekend. Andy the oldest at 23 finished welding school and is looking for a job. He still runs as an EMT. We could not have done the move with out him. or without our dear friends.. Fifteen years worth of stuff is alot of stuff. We are still purging as we unpack- but here is where it is being assimilated..


It was built in 1882, the outside is carved poplar I guess to look like block, the outside is all original. The lot is beautiful with Mature spruce trees and border bushes for wildlife habitat. There is supposedly a cement pond from vVctorian times in the back that was filled in in the early 1950's. I hope to "find" it's remains this summer and resurrect it if possible- mor later....
