Envious

I love going on walks in this neighborhood. All the old homes with large front porches and a swing make me want my own more than anything. I have never really had a desire to have a big home of my own, but living up here has made me green with envy. There is something about the character of the homes in the Avenues that makes it feel like you took a step back in time. Someday, maybe we'll have enough saved up to put a down payment on a home of our own. The only problem is I want one here. And I kind of want a home of our own before we're 75. Oh well; I'm sure wherever we end up we'll make it our own little large-porched sanctuary.

Here is a picture of Cohen on our walk this morning. There are so many over-grown bushes and plants that he tries to grab along the sidewalk. Once in a while he gets hit in the face by a vine or branch, but he doesn't seem to mind.
