Weekend Recap

Thoughts, in no particular order, hence the dots.

Turtle in the carport. Friday – it rained cats and dogs all day. Hence the very big turtle in the car port. Eleanor got to get up close and personal while the big slowpoke waited for its mate and Noah. It rejected the parsley and moved on when [...]

We gave up, and then we didn’t.

Yesterday, we decided to take our house off the market.  We’ve been so upset by the way things had been going.  There wasn’t a  lot of interest in our place, we’d only had a handful of lookers and one family making any offer.  And that offer sucked.  WAY sucked.  Let’s call them the HOOVER family.

Counter Offer.

Opinions please

I LOVE the house I live in now.  Love it to the point that I never want to move.

However, the schools here stick out loud.  Really.  REALLY.
The house across the street from the church is for sale.  It’s in a FABULOUS school district.
