The old days.

I am making apple pies this afternoon, and out of nowhere I got thinking about when I was living in Glencoe (not the teaching part, thank heavens!!).

I loved my cute little apartment.  I'm just realizing now that I don't think I ever took any pictures of the place.  Too bad.  It's probably fallen over by now.  It was very old.  I still loved it.  I think that the landlord's wife had many of the same decorating tastes as I did.

I loved living across the street from Casey's.  Maybe that convenience store was a little too convenient, but hey- it worked.  

I loved having my very own deck.

I loved having walk-in closets.  Closets-- not just one.  :)

I loved that that's where I lived when I met Nate.

I do not love that that's where I caught my very first mouse all by myself and could always hear mice running above my head at night. 

But I still love that place.
