Not since Covid, four years ago, could you simply show up whenever you wanted and get in, guaranteed. Feels good to be back, even if it’s only sporadic for now.

i “came of age” in my early 30’s when we moved into our second home, our current home.

Was probably another decade before it hit me though.

It eventually became a BFO (blinding flash of the obvious), i love everything about our home.
