Barns
With the advent of our new life coming upon this, 2010 promises to be an interesting year, literally full of change.
I have been looking into building vs. buying, and ways to build, and also looking at whether it would be feasible for us to use the old craft house on Grandma and Grandpa's property.
So, for fun, I put in a search on barns for sale in Pennsylvania, and for some reason, barns in France came up.
I was reading it, and it made me think of the book/movie about Under the Tuscan Sun, or something like that.
In the movie, the main character is Diane Lane, and after her divorce she's in Tuscany and she buys a house, moves in and restores it to live in it.
When I was looking at these old stone barns, with great views of French countryside, I thought, "how marvelous!" But in the very same thought, I couldn't imagine being as lonely as that woman was that I would move all the way to Europe, so far from my family and friends.
Mom, of course, would kill me.
She's campaigned so long to get us to Pennsylvania.
I can just see her if I said, "well, I'm headed to France!"
While the movie was all romantic, and the woman did find family and friends and everything that was missing in her life, I hope I'm never as lonely as she was that I have to go half a world away to start over.
