there’s lots of stuff to catch up on, but we’re off to the memory races early this morning. thought i would pass on a picture, though.
the very first house that wanda and i bought when we were 26 years old was a 3-bedroom, 1-bath, 40 year old, stucco house about seven blocks from the pacific ocean in huntington beach. simple. small. old. dark, ugly wall paper inside. total little old lady house.
when we moved, we sold it right before the explosive housing market boom in southern california. (we’ve never been the greatest financial whizzes in the world…)
this is a picture of our property now. it’s worth a little under a million dollars.
yeah.
I am a husband, a dad, a spankin' new grandpa (big papi), a pastor, a teacher, a fellow-wanderer, a baseball junkie, a lover of 24, waffles, the first day of fall , loud music, kids, play, the grace of God, and St. Augustine grass!

How much you figure the Farra Casa in Lewisville will go for when it sales?

sort of like our old house on main street… not sure if you saw it or not… after we moved out the new owners doubled the size of the house in a full second floor. last time I checked it was on sale for 2.1 million dollars! crazy.
