There is a cute little red brick house that I pass often in my goings and comings that has been for sale forever. I haven't paid too much attention to it. Just an absent-minded mental note-to-self. "That's a cute little house. Somebody ought to buy it."
So when my brother called me up the other day asking me to keep an eye out for houses around here, I naturally thought of that little red brick one.
So today as we were running around, I thought I'd drive past it and see how much they were asking. I couldn't remember exactly where it was, but I was pretty sure it was on the north end of 2nd or 3rd west. Couldn't be too hard to find. I pass it all the time.
Hmm. Not here.
Well, maybe it was 1st west.
Not there either.
Could it possibly have been 5th?
To get to the point here, I have been up and down every street.
Every street that I go down on a regular basis, many streets I rarely use, and some that I have never been on before. And it's not there. It's not anywhere. I described it to Jef, who knows every house in town, but he doesn't know this one.
I promise I've been passing it on a regular basis for several years now, but where?
I have become obsessed with the finding of this house.
Not for my brother. No, the original point has been entirely forgotten.
My brother can find his own house, I'm busy.
Looking for my mind.
I seem to have lost it.
Surprise!

haha You're funny. Do you mean that little brick house that use to be a preschool? And M+D looked into buying it once? It's like right on the corner going to that house where I took Cannon to preschool at. That's the only little red one I can think of. And it is SO cute.. Is it Chris who's looking to move up there?
I'm laughing because we went walking last night, so I could show Himself some houses I had fallen in love with on one of my adventures, and I kept saying "this next block - oh, no, that's right - the next one." He thought I was losing my mind.
Maybe it's being 30. Now I'm dying to know if you ever find the little red brick house!
