The Folks in the Back

A couple years ago, Lew and I became joint owners (with my parents) of my childhood home. Mom and Dad live in the "in-law" apartment in the back on the first floor. Lew and I live in the rest of the house.

Throughout the many years during which they had owned the house, my parents did some renovations, painting, wallpapering, decorating, and so forth. We, of course, changed pretty much everything.

Dad rides around in his plow truck in the winter, and he rides around on his lawn mower in the summer. Mom fusses over me like any good mother would. (Smile....)

Life is actually quite wonderful with the folks in the back. And we all agree on who really rules the household: Pepper, the cat.
