August
means home
For me, August is *home
month*. Fifty years ago this August, our family moved into my childhood home
(just after my younger brother was born - so again, happy 50th!). For nearly
half a century that place was the center of family life - holidays, gatherings,
and all the usual day-to-day stuff.
For 10 years growing up,
August was also when I’d return home from two months away at summer camp. Of
course camp offered the freedom and experiences that helped shape me; yet there was always something comforting and
reassuring about going home. Like a special bookmark holding the spot between
one chapter and the next.
And
yes, August also marks when homes begin to get into that “back-to-school” mode.
Young kids heading off for the first time, older students reconnecting with old
friends and greeting new ones. Teachers & coaches gearing up for the sacred
task of guiding the next generation as parents wax nostalgic, both celebrating
and lamenting the passage of time.
As
we enjoy the onset of this August, I hope you are each feeling AT HOME as well.
And if it’s time to buy, rent, or sell - please know I’d be honored to make
August your *home month* as well.
Temps
are high, rates are low. Let’s make it a great month. Welcome home!
