the road less traveled


we found a secret path near church. it takes us away from the main 4 lane drag that's littered with billboards, fast food chains, and countless other distractions. just this past week we startled a couple of deer on the way to mass. one of our favorite spots along the way is our "dream house". it is an old small white cottage with an extravagantly lush green lawn that spreads out thirty yards in all directions. the kids spotted the house because it had a good "treehouse tree" in front. there's also a shed in the back where max said he could put his workshop. it's for sale. samantha would make a good salesperson.
"hey mom, it's small so we don't have to clean as much. and it's closer to dad's work so he doesn't have to drive as far."

"wont have to clean as much?" lol
that could be so as long as the inside was only for sleeping.

yes. it wouldn't take much for a family of our size to mess up a cottage of that size.
