Our Home Away From Home

We're the proud owners of the Setzephandt House now. But we are jealous of our tenants. They are the ones who actually get to live there. We sit in Laramie, thinking about stairways and kitchens and back decks. And boats and racoons and grocery stores. And internet connections and photographs and public libraries and writing and jobs and range hoods. All of it is on hold while the clock ticks and the calendar pages fall. Trying to rush life ahead isn't good practice. It rushes too fast as it is. The whole experience of owning a home in Bellevue right now is reduced to figuring out how to set up an automatic mortgage payment. Good thing we have healthy imaginations: we'll get through it. I suppose it is the strength of our imaginations that got us here to begin with!
