Ambitions and Homes and Ambitious Homes

I've realized recently that if I'm going to get anything on this blog I'm going to have to ignore the lofty ambitions stated in my profile. If I ignore them maybe I'll occasionally come up with something grand. If I don't ignore them I won't come up with anything.

That said, here's the latest on the Morris family house hunt. We visited one this evening that my dad is probably going to put an offer in on. Here it is. Dad's struggling with all the emotional upheaval of major decision making.

The house is good because we won't have to do any immediate work when we move in. My favorite part is that it backs onto a creek and woods! I would have loved that when I was little. I used to always daydream about living in the middle of the forest and all the adventures I would have.

Then I'd draw pictures of the amazing house I would build. Features like an indoor pool with an underwater entrance to a secret room! I don't remember anything else as creative as that. Most of my other efforts went into size and interior decorating.

Ah, well. My aspirations aren't so grand anymore. In fact, I really wouldn't like a house that huge. Not unless I were operating an orphanage or school, like Jo and her Professor in Little Men.
