Moving on Up in Olney

The Wifey and I have been in Olney in form or another for 15 years. We started out living in the Tamarron apartments in back of the the old movie theatre. We would love to call Subway, place our order, hang up, and walk over. By the time we got there, the subs were ready for pick up. Sundays, we would breakfast at BJ Pumpernickel. Boy, do we miss them. Sometimes, we would walk over to Einstein Brothers Bagels.
Wifey would love to go to open houses on Sundays. Sometimes I'd go with her and sometimes not. We were checking out a townhouse in the Cherrywood development when we saw what appeared to be an empty dwelling a few townhouses away. We noticed a piece of paper taped to the screen door. Upon investigation, we found out it was a HUD home and would soon be up for bids. We submitted our bid and presto, we got it. We had to get the back window replaced since there was a hole in it. Some new carpet, a family painting party, and the place looked good as new. We painted the bedrooms, re-did the bathroom, knocked down a wall, got new windows, new kitchen appliances, re-did the basement, got a new heating/ac system, started raising our girls there and then . . . we moved.
We've been in Olney Mill for almost five years. Great place to live, great neighbors. I was just telling my neighbor about our Olney journey. We're glad to be here.
