GRATITUDE
Most people were totally confounded when we moved out of our two-story house, purchased a very cheap mobile home, and relocated out behind the barn. One reason I wanted to live farther away from the road was that I felt I had no privacy at the house; we had the rental trailer in our yard, and kids from both directions used our yard as a shortcut to one another's houses.
Ever hear that saying, "If you want to see God laugh, show Him your plans"?
The rental trailer is gone. So are the kids on either side of our property, and their houses sit abandoned.
I have a profound sense of gratitude for our cheap mobile home, because it provided the only way we could afford the move to the pasture.
I never said I was normal.
This is Day 24 of the thirty day photo challenge.
I so get you, I love your blog, I have enjoyed your life stories........and have fond memories from AOL blogs.
ReplyDeleteI LIKE YOUR TRAILER HOUSE.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE A TRALIER HOUSE TO. EXCEPT MINES A DOUBLE WIDE.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM.
THEY ARE ACTULLY MUCH EASIER TO MAINTAIN AND CHEAPER TO FIX THAN A HOUSE. I LOVE YOUR VIEW. I LOVE MINE TO. I LIVE TO LOOK OUT SIDE AND SEE TREES, SKY, BIRDS, NOTHINGNESS.. IT'S PEACEFUL AND LOVELY.. PURE HEAVEN ON EARTH.
TOLD YOU ME AND YOU ARE ALOT ALIKE.
:-)
EXCEPT THE WATER SOFTNER THING. I CAN'T GET OVER THAT BEING IN YOUR CLOSET..
And a view you do have especially with the pretty snow.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in Branson we bought a used mobile and lived in a kind of dumpy trailer park. If you looked out the front, all you could see was the dumpy trailer park. But if you looked out the back you could see a long beautiful wooded valley that looked south all the way to Arkansas. It was, all in all, a nice place to live.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd give for a house with a view. Yours is glorious. ENJOY! Also wanted to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day before the night slipped away. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, peaceful view! You did the right thing.
