While we were on vacation, we got a couple phone calls from friends that let us know that Orient Lodge, our old house that we lost in foreclosure, not this blog, was on the front page of a Stamford newspaper.

The article was in the Stamford Times and talked about, “the board of representatives voted unanimously in favor of designating the home a local historic property”.

It talks a little bit about the person who bought the house. An old friend from Stamford commented here that there is some sort of connection to the school my kids went to and the church we went to.

It is great to read about the new owner falling in love with the place and about his plans for renovating it. It may seem a bit strange, but when things started moving towards foreclosure, I was more concerned about what would happen to the house than what would happen to me. I know that I will get by. The right opportunities will come along soon enough.

Yet the house, it needed someone special to love it, someone who would save it from being torn down and replaced with a McMansion. Now, it is protected as a local historic property and has a person who will help restore it in a way that I never could.
