The view outside my window:

Beyond the trees, the house across the street with the white pillars is on the Historical Registry. A 92 year old widow lives there. Her name is Mary. Her home is worth about four million dollars. She bought it in 1940 for pennies. Her relatives say, Sell it, sell it. You need the money. But she doesn't care.
