There's no place like home.



It's a small bungalow on a very quiet, nicely treed street. Less than a half a block away is a huge field with two playgrounds, a spray park, a little climbing wall and two hockey rinks - one outdoor and one indoor. It feels perfect for us. I came here a few times before we moved everyone in to do some cleaning and setting up and it felt kind of weird to be living in someone else's space. It didn't feel like home until we were all in here together - with the boys running all over the place, having our first meal here as a family - that's what really makes a home - home. Here are some pictures. http://comfree.com/home-for-sale-fulton-place-alberta-250422

We've spent a lot of time taking off wallpaper and painting in the basement and in one of the bedrooms. I've also spent hours painting the stone fireplace in the basement white. It's been kind of fun to have a place of our own again.

What a nice neighborhood to live in. I taught school at Fulton Place - in the Jr. High.
Can't wait to see your cute home. When is the 'open house'?

Houses are fun, but they're a lot of work. I have many fond memories of hanging and removing wall paper.
