Houses :.

I confess...I am a MLS junkie. It is almost two years now since I began visiting "Open Houses" on the web. I have seen the interiors of hundreds of homes so much so that when I drive through particular neighborhoods, I run through an interior database I have logged in my brain to recall the price, square footage, and the condition of the kitchen of the home in question.

In the last month I found the listing of the house where my Grandma lived when I was growing up. The interior is completely redone--very nice. Through my imagination I remembered the hours I spent in her home. Then I got the idea to look in my childhood neighborhoods to see what other houses were "open." Low and behold I have found friends' homes, houses where I babysat as a youth, and a home I always liked as a kid for sale. (So that is what the interior looks like. Very lovely.) It is amazing journey in time.

When I was young, I use to love to guess what I house looked like inside. Now I can just look. : )

Yeah I may be a little crazy or I may have a future in real estate? What do you think?

Wow! I thought I was the only one who searched the MLS listing for fun. I hadn't thought of going into houses we used to live in or friends homes etc.

I agree with Sleeping with Bread - stay with the other job. You have a pastor's heart, my friend. (Would be a nice supplement to the income though!)

Well, if you did need a job, sounds like you've got options. I'm just sayin'.

Your grandma's house is so CUTE! Lovely little backyard with patio! It needs some flowers though.

I hope you stick with your day job (day and night job?)!!!
