Our House

Here is our cute little house in West Sacramento.

This was a great neighborhood and we knew everyone on both sides of the street. The tree in front is an Autumn Glory Maple, which we planted. Sal, who lived three houses down, was ecstatic when we cut down the Mulberry tree that was where this one is. His advice: we plant a Christmas Tree, which did not drop leaves everywhere in the fall.

Bill, who lived across the street, had two giant Sycamore trees that were about 80 to 90 feet tall (Zacheus' delight). They dropped leaves and seed things all over the whole street and Sal didn't really like that.

You can barely see it, but we had a huge Oak Tree in the back. After the one at Disneyland almost killed me, I wondered how long it would take for ours to come tumbling down.

We had the outside painted (hope you like the color) and inside we painted, stripped the carpet and redid the wood floors, remodeled the back bathroom to include adding a large claw foot tub, added French doors and a deck on back, put in the new windows and Diane made a nice Arbor for the garden in the back yard.

The next door neighbor sent us this picture last year, so the porch has different stuff on it than what we had.
