Our House
In August, 1997 we bought a house on
the Eastside of Brockton. The house is a Colonial, built in
1941, conveniently close to the downtown bus and train
terminals, and especially to our parish church, which is
only a 3 minute walk away. Plus, we've made friends with at
least some of our neighbors, and we really like our
neighborhood.
We've slowly been making some needed
improvements to the house, like new electrical systems and
some new windows, but as any homeowner knows, the work never
ends!
My goals for 1999 are, I think,
modest. Get an office built in the basement, finish wiring
the house for ethernet, and then spending a lot of time
outside, lounging at the picnic table and hammock, which I
hung in late April. If I can ever get Althea out of the
hammock, that is!
So far it has proved to be a cosy
home for us, and we are all quite pleased with
it.
