Whodathunk

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.

Now The Work Begins

Plan B worked well, just as planned.  So we are safe and sound at Emil and Sara's and the next phase can begin.  I see that Sara has been cooking for at least a month, so the next week will not be the week to start eating sensibly.

Teri did well documenting the last three state borders.

Utah likes to decorate under the overpass.

She cheated on this one.  We stopped at the welcome center rest stop after she missed the sign on the road.

Looks like a tree full of large birds.

But it's just the worlds second largest shoe tree.  I'm not sure where the largest is.

Tomorrow we start the house hunting.  After the breakfast casserole, of course.  Stay tuned, I hope to have photos of the new house candidates soon. 

Looks like we picked the right day to get through the numerous small passes from Boise to Redmond; lots of rain/snow for the next few days.  It is hard to complain about winter hanging on too long when you have spent the last three months in Florida.  That doesn't stop us from complaining, it just makes it harder.  WAH!

Stay warm.
