Athena has been looking for a place of her own for a while, and she wanted something here in Bradford, to be close to work and to us, both of which we were pleased about. We\u2019d all been tracking properties here in town when they went up for sale, and even looked at one or two to see if they were a place Athena could see herself living in. Nothing quite gelled. <\/p>\n

Then this Craftsman-style house came up on the market. We got a chance to go look at it and we all came away from it thinking, basically, wow, this is it. Lots of room, in great shape, amazing character, and, for Athena, walkably close to work. It\u2019s kind of a dream house for what she needs and wants.<\/p>\n

As a family we put in an offer and it was accepted, and pending inspections (which we expect will not offer any particular surprises) we close in a couple of weeks. I\u2019m really happy for Athena, and also, happy for us. And while I\u2019m at it, just a tiny bit wistful, as our kid is truly is, officially, moving out and on her own, and that\u2019s a big moment for any parent.<\/p>\n

Only a tiny bit wistful, though, since I plan to make her current bedroom my new music studio. That beats having to walk down two flights of stairs and into a cold basement to get to my current set-up. I\u2019m pretty sure Athena will see this as a fair trade. <\/p>\n
