I dreamed of leaving my Brooklyn apartment and buying a historic farmhouse in the Catskills or the Hudson Valley. I wasn't sure how I'd be able to buy a home in New York, but I had spent four years laying down the groundwork for this dream. I worked with a financial advisor, took a first-time homebuyer course, and researched various home-buying programs that might make a home purchase possible.
I took this memory as an opportunity to honor her, and I looked for a place to stay in Maine. (Plus, as a freelance florist, I've thought once or twice about living out my best flower farmer fantasies in a cute cottage.)
