Buying my first home: May 2005; New Orleans, LA

My home in Arabi, Louisiana; St. Bernard Parish. Here I have walked up my drive way and tried to picture both the front gate (on the left), the fenced-in front porch (on the right), and the covered portion of the driveway beyond my front gate: there you can see a door, which gives access to my home, into my kitchen (a brilliant idea in design for carrying groceries inside my home directly into the kitchen if it is raining...I wont get wet!) Now, the front door at the right of this picture, behind the porch gate, leads into my parlor. The roof is only 4 years-young. I am very proud of my new home! It is great investment, and will certainly make me money when I sell it after residency!
