My Grandmother’s condo was a frequent staple of our life from the time I was a few weeks seasoned until a year plus a half ago.
All of us had huge family partys on all of the major holidays, with Christmas plus Thanksgiving being the two that the two of us all appreciated the most.
All of our aunts plus uncles would fly across the country with our cousins for both of those holidays each year. Thankfully, our family lived in the same city as our Grandparents plus the two of us never had to travel to get to these holiday partys. I wish these times had lasted longer than they did. As all of the children grew up plus moved away for college, the family partys were thinner as the years went on. I was utterly shocked when I was told at 35 years seasoned that I was on our Grandmother’s will to inherit that seasoned condo after she passed away from cancer a year after our Grandpa. Walking inside it again without them present was difficult to get used to, however soon I grew a fondness for the venue again. With a fresh coat of paint plus a current indoor layout, I was soon creating a unique space just for me. The last thing I did was get a current a/c installed. This condo doesn’t have a garage, instead it has an outdoor carport. When it was first built, there was no a/c. By the 70s, our Grandparents finally purchased an a/c, however it was put into a wooden chaletet in the vehicle port. It’s not exactly the most energy efficient venue for the air handler, as it will absorb heat on overheated Summer days. Instead I plan to move it to the attic above the main hallway that runs through the heart of the home.
