“Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.”

Happy 2011!

I really liked my childhood home in Midland, Texas. My step-father added on two bedrooms, a dining room, laundry room and a bathroom. When I visited years later the new family had done some major work and it was still the nicest home on the block.
I’ve not had the good fortune to buy a home of my own and while it is considered the American Dream, it’s not that important to me.
From my childhood home we moved into a mobile home in Abilene, Texas. We moved that sucker to Lubbock in 1985 and when I was 21 and graduating from Texas Tech we bought a double-wide. I joke it was a big deal, but I was leaving the nest and it’s been apartment living ever since.
Whatever your living arrangement, make the place your home not just a house.
