let's dwell on this
Or, "If you lived here, you'd be home now."
Houses. Abodes. Dwellings. Joanna and Helen are buying a house. Mike is
starting at AU in the fall and refuses to live in a dorm.
I'm not moving or starting or looking or anything of the sort (though
getting out of Drexelbrook is high on my list of things to accomplish in
the next year).
So, one might wonder how I end up looking at a dorm room, four apartments,
and seven houses since Friday morning. The houses were much more
interesting than the apartments. We saw two houses with more rooms and
floor space that I could ever imagine in the footprint of the house.
Obviously, Chez-Manitowoc is huge, but it doesn't have a finished basement
or third story.
Plus, it's something they'll live in for many years to come, whereas the
apartment is just a year lease.
Then again, maybe it was the realtor who was not only amusing, but keeps
many different Pepridge Farms snacks tucked away throughout her PT
Cruiser.
Personally, I like the house that was immediately next to a National Park.
It wasn't the nicest of the houses, but it had charm and was originally
built close to the turn of the century. But the somewhat newer and larger
houses that we saw after the first one seem to be the favorites of the
ones who actually have to live there or pay the mortgage.
Me? I just care about the quality of the washer and dryer. Also, I don't
want to look at any more apartments in D.C...
