20 years later

When we walked home from lunch today there was an older couple standing outside of our house taking pictures... Now, we love our house, but it's not necessarily most the most picture-worthy thing from the outside so we weren't sure why a mini photo shoot was happening. The mystery was solved when the man introduced himself and said that he lived at 4 Lutton Terrace 20 years ago. He was American, living in Boston now, and came back with his wife to see the old homestead. He talked about how special this place is and how it's a time in his life that he has never forgotten. We invited them in and showed them around. It sounds like the downstairs changed quite a bit - with the kitchen flipping from one side to the other. You could tell he was loving his walk down memory lane. And it was pretty neat to see how fondly he remembered this little house and the neighborhood... I think we'll probably feel the same way 20 years from now when we're dragging James back to Lutton Terrace to show him where he was born.
