Almost


This is a picture of a house that I could have bought. I had a list of things that I wanted in a home.


1. Off a main road. I wanted a long driveway so that I didn't have to worry about Abby getting hit by a car. I was not willing to budge on this one.

2. Bathroom, bedrooms and laundry all on the same floor. This, I was willing to budge on.

3. 3 or more acres. Not as firm, but it was a very important consideration.

This house did not have any of the above! But I did think about it, it was the 1st farm house that I looked at. And it came with a barn! Can you imagine that?! The main road was only about 30 feet from the front of the house. All the bedrooms were on the 2nd floor. The one and only bathroom was on the 1st floor and the laundry was in the basement! The stairs, talk about steep! I knew that I would trip and kill myself in a mad dash to the bathroom in the middle of the night. And it was only 3 acres. But still, I loved how it looked. It just looks like a farm house to me, probably because it is. But it didn't have the front porch thing going on! If it had? Who knows where I might be living at! Oh, and the price was low!

  1. I remember when you sent me those pics by email. This was/is a cute house, but those stairs would have killed you and then, who knows? Maybe I would have inherited the house. Oh yeah, and the dog. So I supposed it's best that you bought the one you did.

  2. Gee, it kinda looks and sounds like a "grandma" house. Hey Kris, take a picture of your house!
