It is quite a special place. You can't help but love it. The house we live is a little 1950 cottage. I have been contemplating creating a blog just for it. We are renting while we wait to sell our home in Georgia. The properties in Crestwood are selling very well considering the market.Rachel @ daily dunmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02878983593459917244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-55850403058055242862009-07-02T19:50:00.403-05:002009-07-02T19:50:00.403-05:00Just an adorable little cottage.

I remember reading your story about painting her house and how insistent she was that she'd be moving back in. I really sympathized with her then. As much as I love my little house, I can't imagine wanting or having to leave it and my life here. She's so lucky to have you and your husband and whoever else has worked so hard to smooth her transitions. And you've racked up massive 'good karma' points!<br />Have a fantastic Fourth, Rhoda!Tracy Watierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173203339834757559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-78391956106201846432009-07-02T11:02:36.854-05:002009-07-02T11:02:36.854-05:00I know you are glad to have it sold!
