Our last Good Byes

 This may be one of my longer posts. We sold the land in South Dakota, last summer with the agreement that we would get everything out of the garage in 1 year. we got a load out last year but it wasn't all we wanted. But now going through what I thought I wanted to keep I'm getting rid of. This will be the hardest good bye to a house I've ever did. Did I ever tell you the story of this house? Well let me tell you now. First when we were going around town looking at homes for sale we had passed this house (not for sale at the time) and I said I wish that one is for sale That's the one I want. It was a smallish house on a double corner lot (like our house in Bloomington was till we added on) and had a big garage. Well we didn't find a house that time around and went back to MN. a few weeks later we came back a couple days earlier than planed and stopped in to see our realtor. He said a house just came on the market that morning and he didnt even have it listed yet and he said would you like to go see it? I said sure. So we followed him.....to the house I wanted to be for sale. I walked in that house and said we want it. SO we bought the house. We moved stuff over and then Dad had a class reunion coming up so I said come on over you can stay at our house. Well dad gets there and he's like I know this house. I said you cant dad we just bought it. He goes I know I know this house. We went to bed that night and the next morning as we were eating breakfast dad said THIS HOUSE IS MY OLD GIRLFRIENDS HOUSE. Then came the stories of what him and his old girlfriend used to do in that house. UGH!!! Then that night I met said girlfriend and she asked where I lived and when I told her the address she goes oh my old house do you know your dad and I? I go oh yes dad told me all about it and then she told me all about it as well. So here we are in a new house not even a week into it and we learn my dad's old girlfriend used to live there. So the house meant a lot to me so when we had to tear it down it hurt. and now saying good bye to the whole land and garage is just killing me. 

Then our son, oh damn him he's been in jail so much lately and I feel so how its my fault. He was such a smart kid. Now our daughter seen him and said he looks like he will die any minute. and our second oldest grandson the one who shares our anniversary with his birthday well he is following in his uncles foot steps and he doesn't look much better. DAMN THOSE FUC**** DRUGS.
