Where I Live.

I live in the Town of Weymouth, the second oldest town in the Commonwealth, dating from 1622 when it was founded as "Wessagusset". I love our home in Weymouth -- it is a two-bedroom bungalow with hardwood floors, only about 900 sq. ft, built in 1904. There is a back deck and a front, screened-in porch, as well as a large backyard. The street is a dead-end which makes it safe for Theo to wander around without the threat of cars zipping by. There are some things we would like to change about the house -- the kitchen cabinets, the paint-chipped front porch, etc. but for our first home, I love this little palace on Huntington Avenue.

Still, Jon and I talk incessantly about moving closer to Boston -- we are currently 15 miles south of Boston -- but that probably will never happen because even 15 miles south of Boston, real estate ain't cheap. Still, we get into Boston a lot -- Jon every day of course for work. I don't love over-developed suburban living but there are pockets of charm all over this town -- Bob's Muffin Shop, Resale Therapy (both places have pictures of Theo hanging up!), the Cameo Theatre (where Jon used to work in high school), Webb State Park. Still, it would be nice to have an Ethiopian restaurant we could walk to. Can't have it all.
