I haven’t said anything to my mother yet but I really wish she would leave the beach house alone and not remodel it. That was Daddy’s favorite place in the world and I can still smell him there. When I really miss him and need to feel close to him, that’s where I go. He did a lot of the work on the house himself and it has his special touches like that plug that’s half way up the wall in the middle of nowhere. I think that’s what you might call a home having character. I call it what makes a home a home even if it is a vacation home. I bet that plug is one of the first things Mom will do away with too.
