Our Current Hare-brained Scheme

Most of you regular readers know that we have been trying to sell our house for some time. It has been slow going in this weird economy with a rural property.

Well, one of the searches that we use just brought us a property in a neighboring small town. It has three bedrooms, one bath, and is priced at $35,000. Tara and I kind of looked at each other and said, "Do you suppose we might be able to buy it outright and be done with loans and mortgages?" So we drove to said small town (very cute downtown, by the way) and (it's vacant) had a look around the outside and peered in the windows. It seems to be in fairly good condition. We have left messages with two agents, but no action from anyone yet, so I don't really have anything to tell.

I also spent five and a half hours roto-tilling yesterday at a place off Marion Road. The client wanted a 50-foot round horse paddock to be tilled so her horses wouldn't trip or be in any danger. Besides being miserable work after about an hour, I was started at by eight horses most of the time. In fact, one of them tried to eat the handle of my garden rake, but I convinced her that handles are made of wood, which horses should not eat. They were beautiful horses.
