Jenny and I had a pretty lazy day. Played at church this morning, and then we took a little field trip over to Shrewsbury (which is only about 15 minutes from our house) to see a realtor's open house. It was a cute little house, and, actually, it already had a firm contract on it. So why, you may ask, did we go see it? It was a house very near and dear to Jenny - her grandma and grandpa's old house. She practically grew up in that house! I could see her face well up with emotion as soon as we walked in the door - you could just see all the memories flooding back. I had to smile - she makes me do that a lot, really, ya know! :-)
There were a lot of things that were virtually unchanged from 20 years ago - including their old barbecue pit, and an old stove in the basement. Oh, and the awesome French doors. That was her favorite part, actually - she still loves French doors! We took a bunch of pictures so she could have a record for her genealogy project, and then came on home to watch Mizzou unfortunately lose to West Virginia. Oh, well. Still a great day, overall!
