11 years. Longest I've ever lived anywhere.
Lived in 9 different states over the years.
I've got wanderlust. It's about time to sell this one and move on.

I built our home about 33 years ago. It has turned into a gilded cage my wife won’t leave.

Seven here in ( the last place) retired.
My wife and I have bought and sold 11 houses, rented four houses and had three free houses at mining camps. We have lived in Idaho three times, Nevada three times, Upper Michigan three times, Minnesota twice, Montana once, Alaska once.
Wouldn't change it. Many adventures, good friends in many places. Now retired, and happy to stay in the same home year after year.

12 years and I have had enough….we won’t be celebrating 13 years in this house. The family is finally onboard with selling everything down here and starting over up north!
Getting my wife and kids to agree to give up everything they’ve grown comfortable with and moving to Alaska has been a dream of mine and today that dream finally came to fruition. I’ve been splitting my time between Alaska and my family but I don’t have to worry about splitting my time anymore since they want to get outta here. 👍🏼

carrollco, My wife's mom was from Duck Hill, Montgomery County. The Wilkins family. They were about the first white folks to live there. Holmes County was named after her great grand dad. I zip out there once or twice a year. Next trip, I'll holler at ya.

Three different mailing addresses, same location.
Next move will be presided over by the words, "From ashes to ashes, dust to dust".
Ashes being dusted in one of several places I would like them spread!

Previously 34 years, the neighborhood decay was gaining momentum, and the value was in decline. Currently 12, the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, and the value is increasing. It was a monetary mistake to overstay the previous location !!!!
