Who would think that there would be a shortage of houses to pick from, anywhere in the USA right now. Last week we had narrowed down the 30+ listings that our realtor had emailed us to 8 that we wanted to see when we got into town. By the time we were ready to go actually visit the prospects, we were down to 3. The rest were under contract.
Right now we have one more to look at tomorrow, then we will have to revise our search criteria. Meanwhile, we prowl the neighborhood and look for FSBO's or something otherwise not publicized.
Went to the Humane Society to walk dogs with Sara today. Been cold; today it is in the 30's with convective storms blowing through dropping rain/corn snow with a strong north wind.
My favorite, Ella.
Sara's favorite, Sebastian.
Nobody's favorite, Sharla.
Nice facility. Includes a public dog wash and RV storage lot.
Meanwhile..............
Back at the place Emil and Sara are watching for the winter, the porch light waits for it's chance to shine.
And the roof stays securely clamped down.
Tomorrow it is back to the search.
Staying optimistic, and trying to......
Stay warm.
