I thought today I would tell a story close to home. I'm driving down the street to my home and you can see my green truck on the left.
Here is my house last Winter. It was gray-brown with green trim and a brick front. It is a three bedroom split level with three bedrooms. We used the family room as our bedroom when we had the four children at home. We added the front porch many years ago.
My shed was reddish-brown stain with green trim.
During the Summer we had a change in the siding.
The house went from aluminum to vinyl with burgundy shutters.
I painted the shed to match the house.
I am showing the back of the house with the deck we added 10 years ago on the back of the house. 
This was a trip to where I have lived for 35 years. Go out and see some of the other places that people are from.

These type of wooden homes we just don't get here or the snow. Very personal post and very welcoming.
Hey OLD MAN, (I can say that now--after yesterday, can't I????? ha ha)... Love seeing the pictures of your home. What you all did this past summer really helped the overall look. One of these days, we need to get our house painted. We have an all-wood home and it's time to paint!!!!
Thanks again for the tour!!! Hope you had a wonderful birthday!!!

Thank you for inviting us to your house. Very nice home, looks very cozy.
I like the new look. I've heard that the new vinyl siding is much nicer than the aluminum.
Hope you still found time to get in some fishing. :)
You have a beautiful house there. It looks quite cozy and a place I know I would very proud to call home! I keep hoping that one day I will one day have a home just like that... I know it will be possible. =)

Thanks for sharing your neck of the woods. I love the deck, I bet that makes for nice warm nights of BBQing in the summer months. Looks like you all have a lot less snow than us here in northern Michigan. We had about 2 feet until the rain washed a lot of it away yesterday. Now we have ice everywhere. Ick!
You have a very beautiful house dear Fishing Guy! It reflects and tells how happily you and your family lived there :-)
Have a perfect day! Cheers,
FG,
35 years is a long time to live in one house. I think it is wonderful. I'm sure your home is also painted with lots of happy memories, warm thoughts and a lot of love.
Thanks for allowing us to visit!
Hope you wife is feeling better!

It looks like a nice neighborhood. That's nice that you've been there for so long. One of life's great rewards is to be connected to a community.
You have a beautiful blog. Keep it up!
thanks for letting us come visit. looks like a lovely home.
Very beautiful photos of a beautiful house. Happy Tuesday.
Fishing guy. Thanks for your comment. Yes Hawk helped me with making my story.. I wrote the basic consept and asked him to help me describe how "threatening" the animals have become of late...lol You know his gift with words.. Have a beautiful week and I will be back, IF I remember to get bird seed, might have to pick up some rabbit pellets as well.. lol
Hey, great to really see your world. Your neighbourhood looks great and I think summer barbecues on that big deck must be fun.
Looks like you get a lot of snow where you live.
Thanks for sharing this with us. Looks like a great place to live.
Very nice world, in which you live. Great job painting that shed. Thanks for sharing with us.

When you retire next spring are you still staying there?
I hated leaving the house where my kids grew up but I love where I live now.
Great virtual trip around your house.
35 years is a long time! Strong bonding!

I liked your house; especially after you lightened it up! Maybe next time you'll invite us in for a coffee? I'll bring a solar cooked cake and we can have a Swedish "fika"!

Nice to have a look at your home!! It looks very nice.
You have a very lovely house, fishing guy! Thank you for showing it to us! :)
Looks like a nice place, except for the snow. I really like the back deck. Looks like a good place for a BBQ.
Lovely home Tom. And I like the new colors.
Thanks for inviting us to your house. You've got a lovely house!
That's a very beautiful home, I'm staying in a high-rise apartment, which is common in Singapore because of land scarce.
love your street lined with the beautiful trees...makes for the perfect place to call home :)
thanks for sharing with us...
p.s. like the burgundy shutters
have a great week.
Hi,
Thanks for visiting my world.
Thanks You also for sharing your world.,Wonderful indeed.
Have a nice day.
What a lovely post sharing your home, and it's very attractive. I like the siding you chose with the accents.
What a difference ! It looks all new now !!
This is more than a house...it is a home to you still, even though you have moved on.
You have a beautiful home, thanks for inviting us. Really nice deck, bet you enjoy it!
Yes, friend Ton.
Here we are reaching the long and hot days. But you come to short and cold days .
But the truth is that the climate is getting crazy. In the state of Santa Catarina is raining for a month and in the states next to (Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná) there is a drought as never happened.
I do not know how it will be the planet from our children and grandchildren, but we must do everything possible to save that.
Strong hug and a happy Christmas to you and your family
