Our first house

I was talking to several people this week about their plans to buy their first home and I think I was getting almost as excited as they were.

So I got to thinking about my first childhood home, and how thrilled we were, as new immigrants to Canada, to be buying a house.  We'd never had so much space before - and the back yard with its stand of mature lilacs was heavenly!

Here's a snapshot from our basement rec room on Mccrie Street in Sarnia.  I had friends over for my birthday.  Don't you love the panelling?

What are your favourite memories of your first home?
