Well, dear friends, I have made a decision and hope I can follow through. There is a darling house, a two bedroom ranch close to where I live now. It is perfect for me and the boys. I am going to see it on Sunday. I will probably make a bid on it at that point. There is not a lot of yard to mow or sidewalk to clear of snow. It has all the appliances, even a washer and dryer, but no microwave, that is easily remedied. It's a brick house with a lovely screened in porch as an entrance to the front door. I can see me and the cats sitting there on a summer's morning, reading the paper and sipping coffee, the cats luxuriating in the sun. I am really hopeful that the house lives up to my expectations and I have made arrangements to get my current residence painted and ready for sale should it come to that. No more stairs for me, although there is also a finished basement with a half bath and also a wet bar. Plenty of storage and I can get stuff back from friends. I can have an actual music room and and actual bedroom. The latter I may or may not use. It it can always be a guest room. Oh my gosh I am so excited, I had seen the house for sale all summer and it spoke to me. Once I went online and did the virtual tour I called my realtor and told her to work on it. My financial guy said it was a go. So I am good to go. After the viewing on Sunday I am going to go to brunch with the Turtle Lady and Mr. Nikon. I will be so excited. Maybe I will take my phone and snap pictures. Before buying it I will have it inspected. I want to make sure the furnace and roof are in Good shape, but what I can tell you is it has lovely oak floors. Some great built in oak shelves and cabinets. The kitchen is an actual kitchen. And there is also a small breakfast nook. Oh, I can't wait until Sunday.
More to come
