Old house, New House / Yellow house, Blue House

Well, My dads in oregon again,lucky duck.
My seconed house was in oregon. I lived in that house longer than I've lived in any other house (ages 1 to 7). It was old and small, but fit our small family well. It was supossibly haunted by the decessed previous owners, there were three big climbing trees(one with star leafs), a small creek at the end of the neighborhood, bats galore, makinzie merchant lived behind us (close friend, i wonder if she still lives there)and a beach was about 30 minutes away. I was a great place to grow up.

Oregon was an amazing place, I wish I could be there with my dad reliving some of the memories.
He (my dad) texted me a picture of our old house and it blew me away!!!! I couldn't even belive that it was still there!!! the new owners painted it yellow, and it looks like they put a fence around the strawberry patch and lava rocks that used to be out front. But besides those small changes, not to much has changed!

Here are some picture of when we lived there. (my room was the window on the left)




Heres the picture of the house how it stands now (it looked better blue)



Seeing this old house again made my day. It will always be my first Home and hold a special place in my heart. Its crazy to think how far our family has come scince living there.
Apart from this, weve been organizing and scaning all our old photographs. It makes me feel very reminisant. Im proud of my past, It made my present!

"And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages henceTwo roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference"

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking outAnd this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life's better now then it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...
