COINCIDENCE?

I am a night owl since retiring and do my best writing in the quiet of early morning hours.  I also do a lot of "Pinning".  It was about 11:00 p.m. and I was on my Pinterest site.  I have a board called "Dream on Homes", pictures of beautiful homes that I could probably handle living in (!).  For some odd reason I was compelled to see what real estate was available on Herron Island.   We had a weekend property there in the late 60's and my dad was starting to build a house.  They eventually sold the property and unfinished home because my sister and I were getting older and didn't want to go to "The Island" anymore and my folks were busy with their music store and dad's other job.   Well, was I just blown away when I happened upon a listing and the house looked really familiar.  IT WAS OUR HOUSE!  It was finished and beautiful! (And for sale).  I rushed into Mom and Dad's bedroom and woke mom up (bad Patti).  I showed her the picture and asked her if she knew what it was...she knew right away.  She woke up dad and he was shocked.  We looked at all the pictures in the listing and started talking about the fun times we had there. Mom then said, "Boy I would give anything to go back there."  I have to agree...it would be nice.

Now, as Leroy Jethro Gibbs always says, "I don't believe in coincidences".  God, in His infinite kindness, compelled me to look for that property...to bring more precious memories to light for mom.

Here's the link to the listing:  THE ISLAND
