After Ocean Beach, Santee, our bid was accepted in La Mesa
I wish you the best with your new house. Your adventure sounds familiar except I am on the other side of the time continuum. For seventeen years my husband and I have chipped away at our fixer upper in a neighborhood where many if not most houses are beyond beautiful. We raised our children in this house which still has the popcorn right there above us everyday on the ceiling. It didn't bother the kids as they still, when home from college, like to come here because as one boy put it years ago, "this house is homey and warm". Just because your kids are in school doesn't mean there is ample time for a job. I didn't work regularly through the school years and we scrimped but the time is priceless. Someone has to be the glue for the family. Hang in there! The time goes fast.— November 16, 2011 5:40 p.m.
