>So it probably IS hard to sell a
house that has become a real presence for you, or maybe one in which you raised your children, filled with all
those wonderful memories. I like to think of my houses inhaling the laughter and the happiness of our family
and making it part of its personality.<

That is such a marvelous image. I know that I moved through some pretty ratty places in college, but having friends visit or experiencing something memorable made the places somehow more alive - indwelt by good ghosts.
And this, our little California shack, has eight years of our marriage - some high times and some low ones - and now a family in the making - woven into its gestalt.

Helen was outside yesterday and Spouse was gardening. Helen wanted in, so what she did is wait for Spouse to look - then she put her hand in the bird bath. This is an offense punishable by Banishment Inside. I must grin at her cleverness.
