So as I was sittin' in my new room at the old homestead, and I thought this is the life !! The one I never had as a teenager !! I was on my own at 17 and had been working pretty much full time from 15 on. I first worked to buy my brother and I new school clothes and then to pay for dental work I needed. And then I was on to supporting myself, so I moved out. My rent back then was $10.00 a month !! It was a shack in Hanford but I painted it and fixed it up my way (including the black foyer with stars on the ceiling)!! So I must say I made a lot of bad decisions in those years but I also made a few good ones... and those are the ones that lead me here. What exactly I would call this time of my life I'm not sure? But I have been truly blessed to be able to move home and spend some time with my dear mother and to be able to take a break from always being the grown up... well ok not !! But I am enjoying my time with the Old Peeps !! hehe

It's true what they say, "they always come home." :) Glad you are getting some make up time from you teen years...that is a blessing for you AND for your mom!!
What a sweet time with your Mom. How wonderful that you both still have each other.
I wish you had a picture of your $10 rental in Hanford with the black foyer!
I am so glad that you are not alone...and when you need to be, you can close the door to your room:)
