Living In A Grocery Store?

Can you imagine living in the same house your entire life?

My Mother-In-Law was born at home, 87 years ago, and was one of nine children.

Her mother ran a one-room grocery store in the front room of their row home, which is where I’m writing this from – where the cash register used to be.

The store is now the living room.

Margaret helped her Mother run the store, and eventually got married at 34.

She and her new husband moved into the bedroom above the store. They still live here.

It seems counter-intuitive to me, but not in a good counter-intuitive way.

I mean, as adults, shouldn’t we make our homes a place where coming home is like an oasis from the real world?

So last night, it was late, and pulling into our long driveway, you could see the two beady eyes immediately, about 30 meters away.

A fox.

I love country living. It often feels like a vacation.
