ways in which i know that this house is the right house

1. Porch! With ceiling fans. On a quiet, tree-lined street.
   
2. Gas stove! For the first time in six years...oh, how I missed you, my little blue-flamed sous chef.

4. Chinese food, Mexican food, a deli, an ABC store and a 7-11 within 2 blocks.

6. 4 grocery stores, 3 coffee shops, and more boutiques than you can shake sticks at within walking distance.

8. A great singing acoustic throughout the house. I don't remember when I last sounded this good! Thank you, hardwood floors!

12. I had a great dream about my dad last night. Nothing house related, but lovely and real and so welcome.
