Porch Rat
I have two distinct memories of the first time we saw the house we now live in. Maria and I had spent the day looking at some houses we didn’t really like before we headed to the final house on our tour.
I will never forget how I felt when I saw an entire wall of built-in bookshelves in the living room. Both of us love books, and that feature really stood out. We have taken advantage of that space over the years.
But the other thing I remember hit me as soon as we got out of the car. The house had a huge porch shaded by two big trees.
Jackpot.
