I and two of our daughters went today to look at a property. The house looked very ugly from the picture online, and I didn't think there would be any point in going. Well, I was liking it right from the driveway, which was a secluded little drive through the woods, which opened up to a nice sized clearing with plenty of level gound. Small house, and a 30x40 building. Small pond, and Paktoka river through it. It pretty much has everything we would need. I really didn't expect to find something so quickly. When I really think about moving, I am not sure I want to leave the place that has been home for most of my life. But this 35 acres just may be our new home. There are a couple of different ways to get there, and one of them includes a drive through a creek, without a bridge. How cool is that?  ? |

I suppose you could measure the "coolness" as dependent on the time of year.  ;D Congrats on the find! I'm interested to see some pics if you have time. How far will you be from your family? |

The place is about 10 miles from town, and if we did it, it would be a joint purchase with our daughter & her husband, the parents of Charlie, our first grandchild. Maybe one other daughter, maybe all 3 of them. No way would I be moving away from Charlie! Daughter bought our neighbors place, so I only live a few hundred feet away from him now. But, I doubt that we will buy this place. It is a little far away for my huband and SIL while they are still working, and school, and the price is too high for what it is. Wish there weren't already a house there, it would be better to start from scratch. And it may be harder for me to leave my established plantings than I thought it would be.

I know what you mean about leaving established plantings. I will miss my garden.
