My heart lives in Central Austin

13 things I miss about living in a central Austin Bungalow

as compared to the next post 14 things i love about living in the suburbs

1. the origional hardwood floors-  next to the real wood baseboards and the sound of a time before I was born that whispers when you walk. 
   
2. a long wide front porch overlooking a lush green lawn and yes, even the cars going by...a sitting spot for friends....wine with my girlfriends on that porch. 
3. screen doors.
4. wood windows all up in the spring and the layout of those open windows bringing a perfect breeze through the entire house. 
5. having a WHOLE bedroom as a closet. 
6. colorful flower gardens to piddle in after work and on saturday morning and the 3 rose bushes on the south side that bloom all year long. 
7. the 11$ cab ride from down town. 
8. sunlight in the family room with it's floor to ceiling walls.  the best spot for hanging out and my home office. 
9. the soft zen zoysia grass in the back yard surrounded by a perimiter of iris'.
10. being exactly 7 minutes from anything, everything, and everyone. 
11. color parties: The Fabulous Pink Party, The Blue Shasta, The Solid Gold Party, and countless dinner parties on the back deck. 
12. the doggy door.
13. falling in love with billy there in the spring of 06.
