Today's Scan

I'm still going through my box of old pictures. They aren't sorted in any particular order. So the scanning for the blog is more or less haphazard - as to times and places.

I found a picture of the house that we owned nearly twenty years ago - in Laguna. It's a few miles from where we now live. Nancy and I put a lot of effort in doing upgrades to the property, but even so, we didn't stay long - about a year and a half was all. Nancy was hesitant to move, especially after we completed the backyard landscaping, but she adjusted to the new place rather quickly (our current house). The house in Laguna had a zero lot line and the property was really better suited for renting, rather than owning. Eventually the neighborhood evolved to a significant number of the homes being rented. In fact, it would have been a good economic move for us if we could have found a way to keep the house - and rent it out. At that time, however, there was no way to make that happen.

As you'll notice from the scan, we did have a new lawn, a small lamppost (the precursor to the lamppost we have now) and you can see part of the patio cover along the side of the house. The backyard had a good size basketball court. That court was the precursor to the basketball court that was constructed at our current home in Elk Grove. It seems that I just have to have a place to play "H O R S E" on occasion. It's relaxing.
