My mom and I have just moved into a house we're renting that's a couple of minutes away from Luke's. It's a simple house--quite ugly and yellow on the outside, and there's a matching shed/garage in the back, which can be seen in the background of my piratey picture. There's 6 rooms and it's one story, but that's all we really need for just two people.

Besides, the yard is lovely. The landlords own a wooded lot on each side that we're allowed to walk on and the backyard goes into some pretty thick woods. There's always squirrels, bunnies, birds, and the occassional turtle or lizard to spend time watching. (I miss living by the lake on my grandfather's farm though; the scenery was beautiful and since we lived on the tallest hill around, the sky was visible as a complete half of a sphere. But to be frank, we lived in a trailer that was falling apart. What was supposed to be a temporary living arrangement turned into living there for 7 years or something like that.)

My grandparents live 3 houses up the road, so whenever I'm too lazy to make something to eat, I walk up to my grandmother's from some real food as opposed to the junk food I normally eat during the summer.

Although it's a simple, old house, it feels much bigger to me than to most people. At one point in my life, I actually lived in a camper with my mom. For serious.
