Thursday,May 5, 2011 we closed on our home! while not really mexico's independence day, Cinco de Mayo is now our independence day from paying rent forever!
I Own a Home
I can not boast of a broad estate,
But I own a home with a rose at the gate.
I hold the title, and I keep the keys,
And in and out I can go as I please.
My home is not grand, but I live content,
For no man sends me a bill for rent.
And no man comes with a brush and a pail
To paint a sign on my door,
“FOR SALE.”
I can not boast of a broad estate,
But I own a home with a rose at the gate.
