On September 30, 2004, we raced from law office to law office, accepting a check for the sale of our 1960s ranch-style and immediately handing it over for the 1902 Victorian. I was nervous.
Owning an old house had been my dream for as long as I could remember, and it was coming true. […]

Okay, here’s the photo of the house that was built to replace the Victorian that burned in 1914.

Apparently, just talking about auctions made me go on an eBay spree. Oops.
I’ve been coveting a set of four framed botanical prints from Anthropologie, but they’re $392 plus $30 for shipping. I can think of about 422 other ways I could spend that $422.
I am a strange combination of spendthrift-shopaholic and cheapskate. When it […]
