It needs so much work, don’t think we need it.
Work? Can’t you see the potential?
Sure I can, the potential of being in lifelong debt!
A fifteen or thirty year mortgage. . .
And while I’m in my rocking chair and you’re in a nursing home, we’ll still be paying it off!
Joe chuckled, using humor to quell his wife’s hopes for the old home.
Oh, Joe, you’re just kidding, I know you.
You’re dreaming Julie. Repairs alone. . .
You always say I’m your queen, you’ll make my dreams come true.
Okay then, will you promise I’ll be king of the castle?
