I've been thinking a lot lately about our decision to sell Mom's house. Even though we all would like to keep it for sentimental reasons (half of us were born there and we were all raised there), I'm confident we are making the right decision. I look at it this way: If the people that owned the place before Mom and Dad, way back when, had decided to keep it forever, Mom and Dad would have never had the opportunity to buy it and raise their family there. Why should we be selfish, keep it, and not give someone else the chance to care for it as their own home and maybe raise their family in it? None of us need it, we all have our own homes that we're raising our families in (some of us have kids that our grown and have homes of their own now). It may never turn out that way with a young family in it, Easton is pretty much a retirement community now and Adams County as a whole is rapidly dying, but at least someone else will have a chance to care for it and live in it instead of it standing empty indefinitely.

Just started snowing here and it's coming down pretty good! A predicted 3-4 inches. 4 inches and I'll have to plow driveways again, 3 inches maybe not.
