Beginning in the Middle

This blog begins in the middle of the story.

Once there was a girl who made a decision that could be considered "poor," in retrospect.  And when the fallout of that Bad Decision was complete, the girl ended up with a 1970's house in one of Colorado's Forests where it is cold in the Winter--a house that she does not want, nor can she afford. A house that represents fear and anger, cruelty and isolation . . .

After a series of events, including filling a construction site dumpster with house contents, the girl was unsuccessful in selling the 1970's house, which, up to now, has undergone upgrades in excess of $30,000, including oak floors throughout, new tile in the bathrooms, new carpet on the stairs, new kitchen appliances, and new windows (double pane, energy efficient ones, too).

So, in the middle of this story, sits the Girl and her House.  Along the way, the Girl met a Wonderful Boy, who is a much Better Decision.  And the Boy loves her.

This blog is about the girl, this boy, and the house.

  1. Any chance for girl and boy to move into house, fix up house, and turn fear and anger into peace and joy?

  2. The boy and girl refer to the house as "The House," not "Our House." For someone else, this house will provide a place for peace and joy, just not for us. Hopefully, we will have "our home" some day.
