Greetings from the porch of my new home
It's a beautiful night and although I still don't have my internet setup I found a weak wireless network I'll 'borrow' until verizon figures out what the heck they did wrong.

Anyhow I own a porch. I have a lovely porch and I'm sitting here on my comfy $2 flea market porch chair typing on my wireless internet drinking my favorite $7 bottle of South African Sauvignon Blanc (Indaba). In the window behind me I can see Evita snoozing on the windowsill and in front of me I can watch the activities of the road & sidewalks as life goes to & fro

Homeownership - :sigh:

1. It's a nice feeling to be in your own place, isn't it?
I don't have a porch or even a balcony in my condo, but I have open windows that sort of bring the outdoors inside.

And it's great for all the tax benefits you get vs. rent.

Enjoy!

3. Wait til it sinks in!
The mere fact that my landlord could no longer intrude on my "nest" was enough to keep me smiling for months.
Have fun and many happy years in your new home. You deserve it!

7. A porch, a glass of wine, a cat.
That's the ticket, LynneSin.

14. What a feeling!
We've been in this house for 8 years and I love sitting on my porch looking at the water, having a glass of wine, and I still pinch myself that this is real.

Congrats, it never gets old.
