The Spohrs Are Multiplying? Moving On

In December of 1980 my parents bought the house that I grew up in. On Friday of last week, they put it up for sale.

This has been a long-time coming. My parents have been fixing up the house for over a year. When they started, Mike said to me, ?You know they?re fixing it up to sell it, right?? Mike moved a lot as a kind, so he knew all the signs. I tried to be rational and adult about it. It?s a big house for just two people. It was logical to want to downsize.

The home improvements took a while, so I was able to live in a certain amount of denial. But now that the house is on the market and potential buyers have been walking through it, I have to come to terms with the fact that my parents? house ? the house I sometimes slip and call ?Home? ? won?t be their house for much longer.

I had a really amazing childhood in that house. My parents bought the house when it was being built, and when we moved in the street was filled with young families. Afternoons and summers were spent outside with the other neighbor kids; we?d walk from house to house, ringing doorbells and asking ?Can you play?? Then we?d climb the hills in the open space behind the houses, or build elaborate skateboard/cardboard box racers, or play massive games of hide and seek. My parents had the biggest front yard on the street, and it was central to a lot of our activities. It was where I tried to do a handspring and landed on my back. My friends tried to teach me choreographed dances on the lawn (it went as well as the handspring). When we got older, we?d lay on the grass and gossip about our days.

Annabel looking out over the lawn.

The house has held several generations of our family. My great-grandmother and grandmother also lived in the house, and obviously my own babies have all spent time there. It has also held two weddings, two funeral receptions, a family reunion, a surprise party, an engagement party, some wedding and baby showers, a bazillion swim and birthday parties, and an annual football extravaganza. Countless family holidays have been hosted there. Annabel?s first birthday party was in the backyard, and Madeline?s only birthday party was held there, too.

I could really go on and on about every sleepover, or fight, or milestone achieved in the house, but I?ll stop. I?m an extremely sentimental person, so there?s no point in me chanting ?It?s just a house, it?s just a house.? It?s not just a house. Every square inch is flooded with memories, and it?s hard to know that soon I won?t be able to walk into my old bedroom or?the room my grandma quilted in. I?m not ready to imagine another family living there.

I do keep chanting ?This is good for Mom and Dad,? because it is. They?ll get a house perfectly suited for them, without stairs to climb or a giant lawn to mow. They?ll be able to travel. And their new house might be closer to us, which would thrill Annabel. I know selling was a hard decision for them, but I also know they are excited about the future.

My postpartum hormones are making me especially sensitive, but every time I do something at their house I think, ?Is this the last time I?m going to do this?? and then I get teary. It?s going to be an emotional time and I just have to give into it, and enjoy the ?last times? as they come.

Their view of the sunset.

Syrian troops advance against rebels in Damascus

DAMASCUS, Syria Government troops fired tank shells and artillery in heavy clashes between Syrian forces and rebels Sunday on the edge of Damascus, where the military has been pushing its offensive to retake key districts that have been in opposition hands for months.

The Syrian army has seized the momentum in the civil war over the past three months, wresting back territory lost to rebel forces and solidifying its hold over contested areas, particularly on the fringes of Damascus. Two of the embattled districts are Jobar and Qaboun, from which rebels frequently launch mortar rounds on the heart of the capital.

A Syrian military commander said forces loyal to President Bashar Assad have recaptured 60 percent of Jobar, south of Qaboun, and were trying to retake the rest. The commander talked to reporters Sunday during a military escorted tour of Jobar organized by the Information Ministry. His claim could not be independently verified.

An Associated Press reporter on the tour saw widespread destruction that pointed to heavy fighting in the neighborhood. Marble tile factories were destroyed. Reporters made their way in the devastated area by climbing through holes knocked in walls because of warnings of rebel snipers in the area.

At least two bodies, apparently those of rebel gunmen, lay on the floor of a bunker described by the official as a "terrorist" hideout.

"The army is advancing rapidly in Jobar ... the area will be secured in the next few days according to a well-studied plan," the commander said. He declined to be named in line with regulations.

Jobar is near the road linking Damascus with its eastern suburbs known as Eastern Ghouta. Rebels have been using the road to transport weapons and other supplies to the capital, the seat of Assad's power.

The commander said the Jobar-Qaboun axis was important to "cleanse Ghouta from terrorist groups."

Assad's government routinely describes the rebels fighting to overthrow him as terrorists playing out a foreign conspiracy hatched by Israel, the United States and some of its Arab allies in the region, like Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

During the tour of Jobar, reporters were taken to a hideout the army said it seized a day earlier after killing 30 rebels and their leader there. Reporters were shown RPG mortar rounds and explosive devices, as well as an alleged chemical material with a strong odor.

Arabic graffiti on the walls read: "The al-Tawhid Brigade," and "the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" ? names of militant groups fighting to topple Assad.

Sunday's tour came as Syria's main Western-backed opposition group claimed that 200 civilians were trapped in a mosque in Qaboun as fighting raged outside between rebels and Assad's army. It warned that thousands of civilians in Qaboun could be "massacred" by Assad's army as armored vehicles and elite forces move in.

The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of activists on the ground, said dozens of people were held captive Saturday by regime forces in the basement of the al-Omari mosque, but they were able to escape when clashes broke out between rebel and regime forces in the perimeter of the mosque, and the troops retreated.

It said 13 people, including seven fighters, died in the shelling of Qaboun Sunday.

"They (troops) are using tanks and artillery and are trying to break into Qaboun. The shelling is very intense and there is a lot of smoke," said an activist in the area, speaking via Skype on condition of anonymity, fearing retribution.

"This is day 26 of a bombing campaign, and they still haven't been able to break Qaboun," he said.

Later Sunday, a powerful bomb explosion rocked the Deir Atiyeh town north of Damascus, killing and wounding a number of people, activists said. The bomb went off near a police station in a densely populated area, but most of the casualties were civilians, according to the Observatory and the Military Council for Damascus and its Suburbs, a rebel group.

In Washington, U.S. officials said Israel targeted advanced anti-ship cruise missiles near Syria's principal port city in an airstrike earlier this month, according to a report by The New York Times. It cited the officials as saying the attack on July 5 near Latakia targeted advanced Russian-made Yakhont missiles that Russia sold to Syria.

There was no immediate comment from Assad's government, whose key political ally and arms supplier is Russia.

Asked about the reports on the CBS-TV show "Face the Nation," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to confirm or deny Israeli involvement.

He insisted that he will not allow "dangerous weapons" to reach Lebanon's Hezbollah militants.

Aerial footage of house fire on Midland Ave. in Fountain City on July 12, 2013 (WVLT)

FOUNTAIN CITY, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Just days away from being ready for a new family to move in, a Fountain City home goes up in flames early Friday morning. Neighbors first spotted the fire around 6:00 a.m. and called 911, but the house, was fully engulfed by the time firefighters got there, according to the Knoxville Fire Dept.

Crews quickly went to work, trying to push the blaze back into the home, so they could attack it from the interior. As they went in though, the flames reached the attic and the incident commander pulled everyone out for safety reasons. An aerial stream continued spraying the home and the fire was finally contained by 7:00 a.m.

Nobody was home at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported. The homeowner, who arrived on the scene later, told fore officials he had been remodeling, so he and his family could move in as soon as next week.

Fire investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.

A Fountain City home went up in flames early Friday morning. Neighbors spotted the fire shortly before 7:00 a.m. and called 911, according to firefighters.

The home, 404 Midlake Dr., was fully engulfed by the time firefighters arrived. They were forced to clear out after the roof collapsed.

A spokesperson for the Knoxville Fire Dept. said no one was hurt in the fire. The house was reportedly vacant and being remodeled.

Local 8 News has a team on the scene and we will update this story as it develops.

A body that matched the description of Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. was found partially exposed in a shallow grave on the family property,?Menifee?police Chief John Hill said at a news conference.

The body has not yet been positively identified, Hill said, adding that the death was the result of "a domestic issue" at the house.

Terry has a 16-year-old half brother who authorities have said was the last person to see the boy. However, Hill identified the suspect only as a "family member" and would not confirm if the suspect lived at the house.

Police responded to a tip about the body early Wednesday before they discovered the remains, said Hill. Televised news reports showed sheriff's investigators concentrating on what appeared to be a small hole by a tree and about 75 feet from the house, which sits in a rambling, weedy lot off a remote road.

The 16-year-old family member, the boy's mother and other family members were taken in for questioning before the arrest, said Albert Martinez, Riverside County sheriff's deputy.

Terry had been missing from his?Menifee?home since Saturday, and hundreds of volunteers have helped search for him.

Volunteers were told to stop searching Tuesday night, because they were getting stranded in the desert and causing problems, hours after local officials pledged to continue searching for the boy.

The boy was reported missing Sunday morning in the Riverside County community about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

Terry was last seen Saturday night, reportedly following his half brother, who told the boy to go home, the Desert Sun said. The boy's mother, Shawna Smith, said she didn't realize he was missing until the next day.

Searches of the area with a bloodhound, horses and a helicopter were unsuccessful. Hundreds of volunteers also joined the effort but days of covering miles of desert in 100-degree temperatures turned up nothing.

A posting on a Facebook page devoted to the search said Terry's family worried he might have wandered off without food, water or special medication.

However, "foul play has never been ruled out" by investigators, Martinez said.

Several dozen people who helped with the search gathered outside a fire station to listen to Wednesday's news conference. Some sat in lawn chairs; others held a small prayer circle. When word came of a body found matching Terry's description, many began to cry silently and hug each other.

Dawn Berning and her daughters Hannah, 12, and Danielle Stiff, 22, were some of the first residents to volunteer in the search for the boy.

On the first night, they searched abandoned trailers in the hills around town in the pitch dark. In later days, Berning went from her 10-hour shift at the local casino to pass out flyers into the wee hours.

She and her daughters fought back tears after learning a body had been found at the boy's address ? and they said their grief was also layered with anger after learning a family member had been arrested.

"I'm devastated," Berning said. "To see something like that happen in our community tears me up. I'm angry. I feel used."
