Saying goodbye to my childhood home




My parents built this underground house in 1984. This picture was taken before the landscaping was done...and obviously the grass needs to be cut!!

I went down to my old hometown to help my parents move from this house this weekend. My mom is retired and my dad will be retiring at the end of the year. They will be moving to a lake in North Alabama, which I am very excited about. However, it was a little sad to move them out of this home because this is the house that I grew up in...even though it has been over 10 years since I've lived there. We went back today to get a few more things out, and I took a moment to try to soak it all in. I looked around in each room and walked around in the yard looking at things that will only be a memory now, never to be seen by my eyes again. So goodbye to the old...you were a good house and hold good memories; however, I'm looking forward to the new memories to be made at the lake!
