This is a picture of one of the first houses that Kathy and I owned. It's in San Jose, California. On our vacation we stopped in San Jose to show our younger three children our childhood homes and to show them this house. We were so pleased to see how well its been taken care of. This house was built about eighty years ago and had so many wonderful little features that you would never find in a newer house. It had high ceilings with tin inserts and wood carved moldings. The entry way had carved pillars and beautiful wood paneling. The dining room chandelier was an antique brass and crystal piece that was quite valuable. It was interesting reminiscing about living here. I think sometimes we tend to block out the negative experiences and only remember the positive ones. We had a good time living here.
I hope when we have been gone from our present home for awhile, we primarily remember the positive experiences here. There have been some of both. The interesting thing is that you can have high moments and low moments at the same time. I thank God that He blesses us with mountain top experiences and walks with us through the valleys.
