………………….With the official start of AUTUMN only a few DAYS from now……I’m enjoying all the SUMMER I can get!……I am so blessed to be living in a peaceful, calm, heavenly place…….I thank Jac for that!……Jac loved to go for drives, and to open houses….me….not so much……At the time we were living in a beautiful big stone country house in Darien Ct……Even thought the house and the large property, with a pool, were beautiful…..I was BORED out of my head…..There were two places I wanted to be…in NYC and somewhere by the water….When Jac found this house in 1992 the stock market was about to crash and we were at the start of a recession……….so I certainly wasn’t looking for a third property!!…..but Jac had her own ideas….She knew me too well!…..She knew the second I saw the 250 feet of water front property I would melt!…and I did…..I actually didn’t care what the house looked like, but the view was everything….You can always fix a house…..Lucky for me the house was beautiful too…It was on the market for less than a week….and I bought it!!!….Just what I didn’t want…to own two houses and an apartment in the city….It took almost two years to sell our Darien house….that’s how bad the market was! We lived in the Darien house while I did renovations on the new house…..After a year I said enough of this let’s move into our new home even thought our realtor was against us moving everything out…..I didn’t care….so we moved into the “new house”, built in 1906, and finally the old house sold….It was a decision I never regretted………….In this crazy, megalomaniac world we live in today…..my home is my respite from the real world…..A place where I have peace and quiet…where all of the tensions of the world can be blocked out….so…….I’m taking advantage of these beautiful last days of summer before winter is upon us…..I hope where you live is peaceful and calm, and a place where you too can enjoy a somewhat peaceful life too…..the best we can.
