Old House

Commentator Lydia Nayo just sold her beloved house, and wrestles with wanting to leave a page of instructions for the new owner on the kitchen counter. She would instruct anyone living in the house to throw open the blinds and enjoy the light in the morning, and to closely observe the lives of the neighbors from the front porch. Then this house they bought will become a home for them.
