Rock & Wood

I skim read the local paper everyday online.  Today, I read an article about this continuing trend.  Really?  Real estate prices drop 13%?  Is this good news for my family and me?

It has been 8 weeks since we moved into our new digs.  It has been 2 months of a seriously rich summer.  We've had hours of time to process our experience and what lessons we can honestly carry away with us.  Our hearts have grown in spite of what we own.  As it turns out,  I am ambivalent about housing prices as I read The Union this morning.

My friend Petra gave me this little house with a family in it.  Again, the lesson washed over me. Just the idea that a friend could pass a small piece of pained wood to me, and know me so fully, made me feel home.  It made her real estate in my heart go up just about 13%.
