New Jersey

My boss is Walters second cousin. So Walters son that we are buying from and he are peers. One Foran went to Flemington for the Iron Works and my boss's branch stayed in ship building/docks when they came over from Ireland. My boss is terminall progressive and I guess when he was a kid in the 50's there used to be epic fights in the man cave that will now be my husband's studio over politics - with one exception . . .

My boss has said that us being the couple we are - the man he called Uncle Walter would get a kick out of us moving in there. I'm black(bi-racial) and my husband is 100% off the plane from Italy. Walter was very anti racism - all the Foran's are (goes back to the Edge/Harding influence). He'd get a kick out of that - and that puts a twinkle in my eye. And so would have Aunt Anne.

You walk into this house and it just feels good - remnants of laughter and kindness everywhere.
