Splinters Go Everywhere
Over this past, 3 day weekend, bless her heart, (smile), my dear friend of 24 years came and spent "girl time" with me. Thank goodness as I may have spent those 3 days rattling around my new, rented townhouse solo. I have not been a renter in 29 years. I was a homeowner through both of my marriages. I "bought" my first husband out of the mortgage at the end of our divorce, though my second husband, after moving in with me 8 1/2 years ago, and refinancing last August, became a partial homeowner for the first time in his life. He is in his forties. I will own a home again, this is temporary. My rent is close to a mortgage payment and I have realized from being a single mom from 1998 and raising my children through their remaining school years and young adulthood, that having equity is vital. Saved my a_ _ a few times. Back to my girl time...this particular friend was divorced 7 years ago and I do not feel has recovered from the impact. He did "cheat" on her...
