the abode

this is where we live
a single wide trailer stuck on the side of a beautiful barn
across the driveway from a beautiful old house
sitting on several acres
tucked back in our own world
but not too far away from some good civilization
close to a dunkin doughnuts (run by unfriendly indian people)
close to an acme (run by high school kids)
close to marsh creek (we went there more before we lived here)
close enough to four red boxes
walking distance from delicious carmine's italian food
we have washing/drying in the glowing downstairs windows
random cars/trucks/trailers/junk a plenty
a landlord who owns a great restaurant
and makes wine with his friends on saturday/sunday mornings
very early
very loud
kids who mistake our home for a monster truck rally grounds
a daughter who has only smiled at us once
granted we've only seen her 10 times ever
we have a closet the size of a small room
where about 90% of our possessions are crammed in
honestly, most of it is my crap (guitars, amps, camera gear, pedals, bags, etc...)
we have a quaint porch with porch furniture that we need to get out of the barn
oh yeah, we store the other 10% of our possessions in the barn
it's probably more like 60/40
we bought most every piece of furniture from craigslist
which was originally purchased from ikea
which was originally made in europe (or china probably)
we have a 70's blue kitchen
and a 70's green bathroom
when i say blue or green
i mean everylast thing in there is blue or green
they did not cut corners with the painting back then
we have animals that live above our bedroom in the ceiling
they exercize every morning while we're trying to sleep
we have noisy exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom
we have yellowish hardwood floors
and a giant mirror in our kitchen
come over some time
we can play phase 10 or catchphrase
