Our experience has mostly been that of moving into a house that we were building over our heads. The old farmhouse in Vermont that we took over for about 10 years after J's parents retired had its share of live-in critters. I remember most vividly the squirrels who took up residence in the attic each winter and rattled about overhead in the night. <br />I can also take out old blurry photos and place us in time by the cats who were with us!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-90280457962693792472012-07-17T04:43:29.384-07:002012-07-17T04:43:29.384-07:00I am SO enjoying the unfolding tale of your journe...I am SO enjoying the unfolding tale of your journey to Wales!
