Saturday

So I found another house for sale that I like. I've driven by it several times, and yesterday boyfriend went with me to walk the property and peek in the windows.(the lady across the street watched us like a hawk) The house is as old as mine, but the lot is much bigger, and there's no house on either side.The neighborhood is quiet and it's in my daughters school district. The lot has some mature trees and a great side yard for sled riding. The other side yard and the backyard are huge. I could have a wonderful garden. It has a great in ground swimming pool and plenty of privacy.The house is brick, foundation looks good, windows and roof look good, needs lots of yard work and the trim needs painted. The front and back doors need to be replaced, and the foundation needs to be sandblasted to remove old paint. (why do people paint their foundation?). Boyfriend wonders if it will bother me that the previous owner committed suicide in the house. I'll admit that it might freak me out a little to go into the basement at night while alone in the house, but I think it will be okay. I've left a message for the listing agent to call me. We shall see.

We had beautiful weather yesterday. I cleaned my car, my driveway, and my deck. I let We-Ping come outside to play while I did my outdoor chores. She seemed to enjoy it.
