Thirty Years at House Delicious

Yesterday we had an Open House to celebrate thirty years since that August day in 1991 when we moved into the house on Allegheny. I remember thinking that Colorado would be like Montana, and was fully expecting snow the first week of September. And then I remember padding out to the mailbox at the end of the driveway with bare feet for weeks and weeks waiting for the bad weather to start - not realizing that September is usually the very nicest weather that Colorado has to offer. We've been here a long time. Longer than I have ever lived anywhere. And in the back third of the attic there are still boxes and bags and stuff that got moved there when we first arrived and unpacked from DC and that haven't been touched since. What an adventure for my children when they come to clear out the house someday!
