So I realized the other day that all I have talked about on here since buying the house is what I don't like about the house and what I want to fix in the house. I mean sure there is a lot to do, and a lot that I want to see improved but I have decided to start a regular post on what I like about the house, cause there are a lot of things. Plus this will help me stay positive during this time of our serious financial crunch that is not allowing us to do anything on the house besides live in it.
So the "what I like" topic for today....
Location, location, location.
Reason #1: I love where we live. Oh sure the neighborhood is still in transition, so there are some odd little houses and odd little neighbors, but I don't feel unsafe there or anything. What I love though is that it's a diverse neighborhood. I have all kinds of neighbors. Neighbors from all different cultures, and different ages, and backgrounds. You go down one street and hear the Spanish language radio station going as some one works on the yard, and then turn the corner and there is an Asian family having a barbecue while the kids play in the front. I really love it.
Reason #2: I love that we are less than a minute's walk to a great park. This park has two fields that are used for lacrosse and soccer, it has a nice little pond where birds hang out and dance their little mating dances, and it has a great path that goes around the entire thing where everyone comes to exercise or just hang out with their families. There are also picnic benches, little barbeque's, and shaded docks out to the pond. We go out there every evening and just walk around and always meet friendly people who are doing the same. It's really fantastic.
Reason #3: I love that we are a five minute bike ride from this fantastic trail that goes for miles and miles up and down the coast. We go for these long bike rides on the weekend and just enjoy being outdoors and not having to fight traffic or bad sidewalks to get some exercise. The best part is we can ride the trail for less than 10 minutes and get to downtown and if we ride about 30 minutes to the north we get to this great small town main street where you find all sorts of boutiques and restaurants. How about this part....if we ride to the west from our house for about 15 minutes we find ourselves on one of the nicest beaches that Florida has to offer. Bike....to the beach....amazing!
So there you go. Post number one on what I like about my quirky little house.
