100 things - Number 37

Kerstin posted today on this item and I thought that I would take a shot at this #37 also. The line is simple "list all the places that you have lived". Here are the places that I have lived from a bird's eye view. First is Brooklyn apartments, a college dorm and an apartment in Barre, Vermont.

Next is another college living place, my apartment with cousins and friends after college and my first apartment with Tony. Tiny and a dump but we were happy. Note that the toilet room and shower were in totally separate parts of the apartment. Once a cold water walk up flat for mill workers, the showers were added later as a luxury item.

Then we moved to a fancy two family house in Belmont, MA - with an actual driveway and a tiny little patch of grass that I cut practically by hand.

We left Belmont ( I still wish we hadn't) and moved to Stow to an old farmhouse that we loved but needed a TON of work (and still does - when I drive by it, I can tell) and then we moved to our current house still in Stow. Note the sad little "no dog" note here, but I'm still working on it.

Nice way to remember all those homes too.

It is amazing when we think of all the places we have lived. I love how you did this with the little sketches and notes. Keep it for the next move.

what a unique way to communicate your #37. glad i didn't do it, would have needed about 10 pages for all the places i've lived.wonder what #38 will be....

#38: Describe your favourite room in detail. ;)

Michele said...

Oh my gosh, it would take me days to sketch / remember all the places I've lived.

I like this. And I once tried to make an image about each home in my childhood; unfortunately, my sister is the only one who can make much sense of them.

I could imagine you in each of them.
I enjoyed this retrospect....
