Home is Where Your Heart Is

Here is our house. Andrew is thrilled it is red….for me it resembles a barn. Steve is just happy there is a comfortable chair to relax in when he gets home. Despite it’s large appearance, it is very cozy and offers beautiful views of the water. Our home is owned by one of the town contractors, Al Hill. He is also running for Mayor. Al has made several upgrades to the house; laminate floors, new cabinets and a washer and a dryer. Can I hear an “Amen” for the dryer? It was installed two days after I arrived.

Our house has two livable floors. One floor contains the living room, dining room, and a half bath. Upstairs has two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, an office nook and a third room that contains some basic workout equipment.

The underneath of the house holds the oil container that heats our main living space. Thankfully it is semi-furnished. We have a T.V., DVD player, stereo and are hooked up to Dish Network.

We have a dining room table, beds, dressers and a desk. We enjoy the harbor views from three cushy rocking recliners, one has Steve’s name on it and another seems to have been claimed by Barneby (our cat). Housing is limited in Hoonah and I feel lucky to be in our home. We really have everything we need. Home is where your heart is….and with Steve and Andrew here how could I not feel at home.
