All Good Things in Time...


Hey all - E has been bugging me about not posting as often here, but with house status constantly changing, I feel like I can't put anything up till I know where we're moving *grin*. In sad news, we lost the cottage in the cool neighborhood, but, in much better news, made a bid on a big beautiful place that was accepted this am. This deal feels much more solid, and the sellers seem much more trustworthy then the other two. I think we may have found a home at last.

More house, and land, then we could have afforded were it not for a power line across one acre of the six acre property...after researching and finding no credible health risks - and many, many studies showing absolutely no health risks at all living near power lines - we feel good about taking this "not for everyone" house and farm and making it our own! The big weathered pair of steel beams rising 100 feet up may be an eyesore to some - we call it modern art :)

Everything from the fancy pants big open kitchen/family room/hearth area to the hot tub for poor E's sciatica just made our hearts sing so here's to our, hopefully, new home! (We are set to close on Dec. 6th - moving in before Christmas!) Farm-wise, we may build a "Real" barn come spring, but there's a hoop house ready to be glazed for spring planting, and 3 to 4 cleared acres of lush, beautiful grass just waiting to be plowed and planted...
The double dipped fudge-caramel apples I just made are setting up a bit more tonight, then tomorrow I'll package each one up in cellophane, tie them off with orange ribbon, and attach one of my halloween pysanka eggs to each treat. :) Certainly TASTIER then the gingerbread haunted houses of halloween past! OK, CSI calls, g'night all - I'll post when we're out of attorney review (our new lawyer is apparently one of the fastest in town - no more losing houses during a lonnnnggggg attorney review process!)
