anyone wanting a vacation home?
Posted on December 4th, 2007 at 3:52 pmMy brother is selling my mom’s house.
It’s weird seeing it up as a real estate listing. I have been hoping he’d sell for awhile; Having it has been a bigger hassle than I think he realized it would be. He’s just too far away to keep up the maintenance and chase down deadbeat renters.
It’s sad, though. I didn’t like living there when I was 15 and even now I know that there aren’t many jobs for the like of us, even if we did want to live out in the woods away from any major cities. But I do love it up there. I miss the smell of the fresh air and pine trees, I weirdly miss the sound of the snow-mobilers trying to kill themselves on the trail back behind the property, I miss my dad of course, and totally miss my mom.
If it weren’t so stinkin’ far, I’d so be up for a week’s vacation.

Man, thats just weird. Remember when I pitched a tent in the front yard for your wedding. Tent should have come with directions!

Selling my mom’s house was pretty weird too. She’d wanted me to stay there and take care of the roses.
But there was no way I was going to stay in Lawton. I moved to Norman and sold the house three years later after renting it to a friend of mine. But I never saw it listed, since I sold it directly to a realtor.
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is, “Yeah, it is weird. Sad too.”
It’s very pretty in the trees. Where is it located?
