Have you wished for one very special thing for many, many years and finally at long last had that dream fulfilled? Over the years I carried this dream in the back of my head of having a brand spanking new house built to my specifications!!!!!!
When my husband and I moved to Florida from that lovely home half way up Lower Brush mountain on Karda drive just outside of Hollidaysburg Pennsylvania, we purchased a building lot in Sorrento East subdivision and ordered a new Richmond home built.
In the same subdivision, we rented a condominium on the upstairs corner shown in the picture below, the eight months while I watched my new dream home through construction to it’s completion. What a joyous time! My life’s dream was being fulfilled.
My brother Bugs and his wife Mary, my sister Geneva and husband Bill and my sister Fannie and husband Paul, who were all in Florida at the time, assisted my husband and me, with the move and getting each room in order even hanging the pictures.
As the sun is sinking into the Beautiful Gulf of Mexico waters, our new home now ready to live in, we all sat down at the dining room table and enjoyed a delicious baked stuffed pork-chop dinner my sister Geneva had prepared in my new kitchen. A happy ending to a perfect day!!!!!!!!
I was a new agent in Real Estate and in less than two years after moving into my dream house, GUESS WHAT? That home around the corner in Sorrento East that I had just listed to sell………. became my NEW DREAM HOUSE!
It was a Rutenburg built, four bedroom three bath home with one bath opening to the large solar heated pool, a two car garage a circular driveway and on a lake.
I didn’t have the listing long until we wrote an offer to purchase that beautiful home, the owner accepted our offer, we put our new house on the market, sold it fast and moved into the house on Da Vinci drive.
Two years in this beautiful home and although it had been my husband’s idea to move to Florida, the man I had married in the ‘Hawaiian Wedding Cave’ wanted to move back up north. I DIDN’T!! We got a divorce and he moved back. I purchased a condominium in Bird Bay Village and moved again. FIVE YEARS living in Florida and I am living in my FOURTH HOME!!!!!!!!
HEY……….ENOUGH OF THIS MOVING FLO!!!!
I lived in my lovely Condominium on Bird Bay Way TWENTY THREE YEARS……..and only moved again when I was eighty three and moved to Salem Ohio to be close to my daughter Pamela her husband Tracy and my grand daughters Evin and Sarah.
About my LIFE’S DREAM? Being a material object, it pales in comparison to the really important things in life! BECAUSE…. FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS AND ACQUAINTANCES along with the many ACTIVITIES in which I participate, is what fills all the empty spaces in this LIFE OF MINE!!!!!!
And so….WILL I MOVE AGAIN? Only THE FUTURE will tell………………………
