Ideal Retirement Home?
Stirling and Alex went to Alaska with their grandfather. Stirling sent me this postcard in (partial) jest.
She knows me well enough to know that I have romantic notions about old buildings, renovated barns and relocated structures. Before we moved into our current home in Basking Ridge, I seriously researched saving a historic home from a summer estate and moving it to a new lot (ultimately the home was demolished to make room for three, new $1.5 million homes). And on a recent trip to the Finger Lakes, NY, I was enamored (to the boredom of my family) with an abandoned, red Dutch-style barn on the approach to our friends' lake home.
As we make decisions about our future living arrangements, I know my family waits with anticipation (and perhaps a little fear) to see what crazy ideas I propose for our next "home sweet home."
