The Friday Five
1. How many houses/apartments have you lived in throughout your life?9

2. Which was your favorite and why?My in-laws ‘big house’ on Lake Michigan. It had a lot of character. Sure there were some tense moments - what do you expect when you have Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, 6 kids and Uncle Rob (for part of the year)? It wasn’t until I was on retreat on the shore of the Lake that I realized how much I missed being able to look out the front door and see Lake Michigan. And, of course, little Eddie was born there.

3. Do you find moving house more exciting or stressful? Why?Stressful. Too many details to take care of.

4. What's more important, location or price?Location - at the right price, of course.

5. What features does your dream house have (pool, spa bath, big yard, etc.)?Big kitchen, more than one bathroom, private chapel, library.
