This is the house that I grew up in, located on Irish Hill Rd. in Shelburne, Vermont. It is a 200 year old farm house that my dad basically transformed from a dilapidated shack into a charismatic, charming and slightly off-kilter home. I’ve lived here since I was two or three years old, and this summer my mom is selling it. I’ve had a hard time coming to terms with the idea that I will never again be able to call this place my home, as I have a deep love for every nook and cranny of each square foot.
There was a good quote by Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes one day last week. Rooney was sorting through all of the junk piles in his office, wondering why he never felt like he could throw all those old letters and lists and piles of stuff away. He said, “Sometimes I wonder, how much of my life should I spend trying to remember the rest of my life?”
God dang, that’s a nutty question.
