My parents are putting their house up for sale within the next few weeks. I lived in that house all my life and it is going to be heart wrenching to see a “for sale” sign on the lawn.  I’ve had so many great memories.  There were always so many kids around.  We would stay out until it got dark playing hide-and-go seek, skip, hopscotch, ball tag or war. In the winters, we would build snow forts or play king of the castle. The court I grew up on was developed by my grandfather and it is named after him. I have two aunts that still live there and another aunt lived there when I was younger.  My dad and his father built our house. I’ll have to get some pics from my mom of them building it. I lived there from the time I was 2 yrs old until I moved out at 28. I guess it’s just one of those things that happens when you get older. Mom and dad have their cottage which they live in during the warmer months and they will be looking for an apartment to spend the winters. We always went to mom and dad’s christmas day for dinner. It will be different going somewhere else.
