(574 posts)in 2021 that we lived in and raised our two sons for 35 years. It was time to "downsize." It was a traditional tri-level house built in 1970.It had four bedrooms, eat in kitchen 2.5 bathrooms large living room, dining room and large family room
/fireplace.The new owner was a big game hunter (reminded me of the pictures we've seen of the Trump boys).
After about a year I had to go back to settle a small financial issue with the owner. He had made an agreement to purchase some furniture which he hadn't paid yet.
I walked into the family room from the garage and gasped to myself, there mounted on the walls we mounted headed of the animals he had hunted. I saw deer heads, tiger heads, bears heads lined up around the perimeter of the room. Along with a leopard skin prominently displayed on the way to the kitchen. We settled the debt and I left.
I was sad to see the room that housed so many parts of our lives...birthdays, HS/college graduations, weddings, grandchildren, holiday gatherings.....to be desiccated like that. It's hard to un-see that.
Anyway it his house to now and that's how he chose to decorate it. I have a lovely smaller house that we downsized to......
It's now two years this month that my wife of 51 years passed away. I took care of her in our new home until I couldn't. She was in a hospice house at the end. I still have the memories and lots of pictures to remind me of the good times we shared together during our 51 years together.
