Our poor old house...

On a whim, I decided to drive by my old house yesterday to see how it is doing. It was never the prettiest house on the block, but I was shocked to see its current condition....

Check out the boards on the side of the house near the roof...there was never a window there...so I'm not sure what happened.














There is dirt over the front door, a broken window (which is hard to see in the picture), and that huge tree to the right is completely dead...no leaves...it just looks old and scary. I have no idea why it hasn't been cut down.














Look at all the weeds in the driveway.















This was my favorite house. I can still see me, Tom, and Abby playing outside when I look at these pictures. It makes me quite angry to see the house I grew up in look this disgusting. It seriously looks like a drug house; I can't imagine what the neighbors think. Before we moved, we put a lot of work into this house. The yard looked great, the carpet inside was new...everything was very nice! I'm scared to even think about how dirty the inside of this place is.

If my favorite old house ever gets put up for sale...I'm buying it and fixing it up.

That house does look pretty bad, but I think what might have looked worse is you sitting in your car taking pictures of it. I can't believe you did that! You are too funny.

I think that is crazy that you are stalking your old house. It does look pretty warn. Maybe tomorrow you can stop by with some Round-Up and take care of the weeds in the driveway. That will make a difference.

I'm actually surprised I didn't get shot at when I stopped to take pictures. Who knows what's going on in there...
