bye bye old life

As we were leaving our old apartment Olive said "Wow 9 years, I had memories of a lifetime here. 
Then she looked at me and started laughing "Actually YOU had memories of a lifetime here,. I agree. 


We cleaned the pad so much that we didn't recognize it. Then we went from room to room with two containers of ice cream each. We sat in each room remembering events that happened in them, eating Ice cream, giggling and crying, then we would go to the next room and repeat. Most of my fond recollections were on the steamy side then she would make me feel like a chump by bringing up memories pertaining to family and kids. 
Olive said "OK now the house is telling us to go into the world and be great clowns. You two entered the place single and are leaving together as a team, go be clowns!" 
I filled a bottle with the last clown cave tap water and we left never to return (till the next day to check mail and hug more neighbors goodbye).
We just found out a violent altercation happened shortly after we left the previous night. Had we not left when we did we would have been caught up in it. It's why we moved in the first place. We got very lucky. bye dreadful apartment (or whatever name you go by now)
