home sweet home

It's drafty.
The walls have no insulation.
The floor squeaks.
Sometimes racoons live under our shower.
There are no closets (except in the bedrooms)

But it's often filled with friends.
It (until 2009) hosted the sweetest costume party of the summer.
The living room and kitchen are big.
Happy memories fill the cracks in the cinder block walls.
The view, oh, the river view is the best.

This little cottage is home sweet home.
