Write about your dream home. So ask the daily writing prompt.

The sun comes in my bedroom window in the morning and I watch it set from my front porch.

It has loving pets.

A home that raised children and grandchildren and has the height marks on the doorways as evidence.

It has a brick front with a warming entrance.

A deck that gets both morning and afternoon sun and a nice breeze. And large enough for family meals.

A large bay window to overlook nature and wildlife.

A basketball hoop in the driveway.

A fireplace in the family room.

A basement office with an outside door and window.

A large front yard and a sloping hill in the back.

A roof that keeps us dry and a furnace that keeps us warm.

A pool to cool and play in during the summer.

One where laughter and joy can be heard.

This is pretty much our home from the mid-80s. It’s not much, but it’s home. A 3 bdrm Rancher, the pool was filled in years ago after the kids grew up because it needed too many repairs. I’ve always longed for a garage but never had one. So I would add that to this dream home I live in.

Yeah, it would be nice to have that dream home on the beach. But my family and friends don’t live at the beach so there you go.

Having a huge dream home of the imagination is nice but in reality, you either have a ton of money for a staff to maintain it or you become a slave to it. And a small home on an acre is more than enough for this guy.
