East, west, home is best

We lived in the SF Bay Area for a year or two and spent a decade
longing to go back. But on a recent trip for a family wedding, we were
both over it. Too many cars and too much traffic; too many strip
malls; everything looked too shiny and new. Even the city didn't seem
nearly as exciting as it did when we lived there. I guess we've become
New Englanders.

We've also been looking for a larger place in our town, but the more
we see, the more I realize how much I like our little house. Our open
floor plan is a rarity around here, but it's invaluable when we're
trying to fix dinner while K plays. Many of the houses we've looked at
don't have garages at all, let alone an attached garage, and forget
central air. If I could just add a bedroom to our house, get decent
heat in the winter, and pick up the entire place and move it to a
nicer neighborhood, I'd be happy. Anyway, we're not in a hurry.
