Saying Good-Bye SOL #16

I am participating in the Two Writing Teachers' March Slice of Life Challenge.  I am joining other bloggers and writing each day in March.


Last night was bittersweet.  Seated in a circle, some of us on the bare hardwood floors, other on the empty hearth, we ate our last meal together at our house.  With pizza on plates that we had propped on our laps, we shared our favorite memories of the house.

Keith:  Putting up the tire swing for the girls and watching them play



Autumn:  The first time she met Caroline when Annie brought her home


Destiny:  Camping out


Me:  Bringing Callie home

There are a million more memories I could write about.  The girls ended the evening by taking the dog outside, running through the yard and taking one more swing on the tire swing.  It was a good way to end the evening.

  3. A house that's been our home will always be part of us and in our memories of people and events. Your slice makes me think of a book by George Howe Colt called "The Big House"... subtitled "A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home" -- the house is the center of his memories. A lovely read, btw.

  6. I always find goodbyes to be hard. I try to remind myself that goodbyes bring new hellos, but still I never find them easy. I enjoyed reading about the many treasured memories of your house.
