But one thing I'm very thankful for is that wherever we've been over the years - here at home and overseas as well - I've had very nice homes to live in. And two of my own. We owned 2 homes back in N.B and they were both lovely.
This house we're living in now is very very nice but we're only just renting and really, I wouldn't want to buy it because it's quite noisy here - in a cul de sac and we have no real yard .... just a small triangle of grass in the front. We can't afford to buy at this point anyhow. Everything here is sky high!

Well, we have never owned our homes, we have always rented. But that has never bothered me. I never have been bent on needing to own one. I am a very simple minded person when it comes to "interior managagement". I like clean and simple decor. I like to deccorate with a nautical theme and I love blue so that is me. To some peoples horror some of my decor even comes from Dollar Tree but I love it and Mr B does too. So that makes it easy. We have always been able to find places that have met our needs so what more can we ask for. When we first moved here, there was a real housing shortage. We actually had to stay in a hotel for a month! Try that for improving family relations.....4 people in one room for 31 days. God is faithful! lol. Well, we found a place that was really nice and we liked it but it was really out of our price range. Knowing with the shortage they could ask for a bery high rent and get it, we took the place planning to keep looking. We did not have to sign a lease. To make a long story short we found a place very nice for 200.00 less a month. A year later we found another for an additional 200.00 less a month. The housing shortage is not as severe so the rents have gone down some. God is good. We have a very nice place that we enjoy and meets our needs quite well.
