It was an ordinary day. Sitting on my rear deck, typing this story as I listen to the cascading waterfall that flows beside our deck which is shaded with plenty of trees and canvas tarps. I am waiting for the next real estate agent and customers to arrive and look at our home on Harrington Drive in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Today is the start of trying to find a buyer for the place Carol and I have called home for almost 30 years.

It was the third home that we have occupied during our 55 years of marriage. But, it is a bit too much to have to manage and we have decided to move to a retirement community where we can enjoy the rest of our lives with as little work to do except for enjoying ourselves and visiting with our new neighbors. Carol and I have been spending hour upon hour preparing what we call our beach home for visitors whom we hope will fall in love with our home just as we did and purchase it for their next residence.  |

Today there are a half-dozen viewers who will get a chance to walk through our Harrington Drive home and see if they would fit the mold that we have formed over the past years. The home has a sunken living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, den and half-bath on the first floor with three bedrooms and two full baths on the second floor. It also has a fairly large storage area in one of the smaller bedrooms and a very large storage area in the master bedroom. A two-car garage can be entered from the family room.  |

Above the garage is another very large storage area. In the basement is a large family area with a smaller room which at one time was occupied by one of our sons. After he moved into his own home, I used the space for my stained glass and photography workshop. OK...by now you might have guessed that I'm trying to sell our house! Only problem is that you would have to live in the area of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. But...if you may be interested, and live in the area...leave me a comment here. I'd be glad to show you our "Beach House." It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
