Linda Marrone: After 40 years, old traditions have a new home

Well, after 40 years of living on the south end of Minnesota Street, the Marrones have moved 12 blocks west to a smaller house on Elm Street. I can’t say it was easy and it certainly has been overwhelming, but in my head, I know it was the right decision. I’m just trying to reconcile it in my heart. It was a wonderful old house and neighborhood in which to raise four kids with dogs, cats, turkeys, a goat and a horse. Our nine grandkids spent a lot of time at that house. They loved the big yard, and there was always something for them to do. That’s a plus when you’re younger, not so much as you age.
