Our Dream Home was Temporary But Memorable
Several years ago, my family had a wonderful opportunity to live in what I would characterize as a “dream home”. I was changing jobs and needed temporary quarters until my family got settled into a permanent residence. We rented a house with a short-term lease. It was a 6-bedroom house on a small hill located in Bethesda, Maryland, made even more beautiful by a blanket of snow outside and the warmth of a crackling fireplace inside. This house even had a private library. It certainly created a memory I’ll never forget.
Many people have their idea of a “dream home,” and these ideas are extremely varied. Often, the dreams are based on a memory of a place they lived or visited, or on a particular location in the world where the dreamer wants the home to be located, or on a desire to keep up with the Kardashians, etc.
My preference is for a humble abode, sort of along the lines of a log cabin, they say Abe Lincoln (16th POTUS) lived in. I would prefer that it be located somewhere where the weather is like the Bahamas or Hawaii. But if it is in the mountains, it must have proper heating. LOL. Basically, I want to live in a simple house that does not require substantial upkeep and maintenance.
What about you?
