Our Dream Home in Time

This is a History of the styles and places we called home. I grew up living in a project home in New York City, but at times, I loved it there too. "Home is where I hang my hat, I make the best of where I'm at" yes, home is truly where the HEART is. We prayed hard for the home that we live in today, that made all the difference. We just hope we will be here to stay. Amen!


Poem Artwork

 


Our First home...

Was a duplex in Surfside near Miami Beach

Art Deco style; we decorated it with pride

Second home...

A country cottage in Texas with a fence for our pet

We had our first back yard, it was our best home yet

Third home...

An low-rise apartment with a pool near Barton Springs

We had a dishwasher and that meant   everything!

Fourth home...

We move up to a two-story Garden Home with a garage and all

It was in Buckden, Hunts, UK and in England, we had a ball.

Fifth home....

We moved to a rustic Town Home in Washington State

It was surrounded by tall trees and the landscaping was great!

Sixth home...

This was our first single family home in the Washington woods

An Alpine design and it was sided with real Cedar wood.

Seventh home...

A duplex on Myrtle Beach that was close to the shore

It was near work and play; who could ask for more?

Eight home...

We lived near the Rocky Bayou in Fort Walton Beach

This was a brick estate on a hill that was easy to reach

Ninth home....

We moved the family to a big apartment in Tokyo, Japan

It was on rollers due to earthquakes; now isn't that grand? 

Tenth home...

In Homestead, Florida in a nice condo on a lake

There until Hurricane Andrew hit us; was that a mistake?

Eleventh home...

Custom pool home in Valdosta, Georgia with all of the bells

Pool had a waterfall, with lots of land we didn't want to sell.

Twelfth home...

Custom Southwest style home in in Colorado Springs

Was built on a cliff, it was huge and had everything.

Thirteenth home...

A townhome in Fort Myers Florida near a river, yatch club and more

Community that attracted golfers; some played well and others very poor   

Fourteenth home...

A beautiful pool home with a kayak launch and boat dock.

We really like this home - we like it a lot!

We pray this will be our final home that we live in today

It's our Dream Home that we love, we hope to live here until our last day. ..

 

Amen...

A long way from public housing! I've been to Surfside and couldn't be equated in any way with Miami Beach! My, but you lived in a lot of places! That certainly shapes your view of the world and gives you a lot of experience for writing.

I'm sure you find it good that you have finally settled…

Lucky you. I had one home and lost it to poor financial matters. Now back to renting. Perhaps this will be your retirement home?

...home is where the heart is...
...you write...warmly about all of them...
but...your true HOME is in the place
that you LOVE most...
God Blessings! and Good Health!
