4/17/08 A red car pulled into the driveway this morning. The for sale sign still hangs in the front yard with that blessed addition – sale pending. And that’s why the red car was here. Because the occupant is named JoAnna Fisher and she and her husband built our house in 1960. She lived here with their 3 children until we bought it in 1983. We have sold it to a couple who has 2 kids just a bit older than 2 of ours when we moved here. She came in and looked at all the changes, we talked of where our lives have taken us and where we’re going. We loved this house and all the memories just as she did. As she said, she was sad to go but ready. I feel badly that our grandchildren will never swim in this pool, have a holiday dinner around our table, or spend the night under this roof. But not so bad that I am not already very excited about what lays ahead. Just making more good memories.

I think I've came only once to this house. we spent some time chatting in the sitting room, and I stayed overnight sharing Cameron's bedroom with her.
I have many more memories of Audubon street and the wonderfull year I spent with you overhtere.
Your trip remains me of my greyhound tour of your country. I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot as I did.
Take care.
