This year Mary and I (both) got a special present--after living in a rental
house since we sold our last home almost three years ago and looking at
lots of houses we didn't like we finally found one that we really like and
closed on it on Tuesday.
It meets both of our needs--about 3+ acres in a wooded semi-rural
neighborhood which is what we wanted, plenty of room for our dog and Mary's
garden
and bees and there is room to build a free-standing garage that will
comfortably accommodate 3 cars(our two Healeys and my Elva) plus my 20' car
trailer and a two post lift. What else could a boy want! Today is our
anniversary and we took dinner up and ate our first meal there--candlelight,
roses
and everything!
We have agreed that at least for this and the coming year all gifts
(birthdays, anniversary, Xmas/Channukah, etc. will be "house related". Mary
is
figuring out how to redo the kitchen and right now I am drawing up plans for
the garage--the lift is of course something we both need since I look
after all the cars, so that will be one of those gifts....
Best to all for a great holiday season--Michael Oritt
