• Holding our breaths........

  
  

  We found another home that we are mightily interested in purchasing. This one is better in a couple of ways.......but not in others. The across the street neighbors in the McGreedy house was the Baptist Church, parking lot and all.

  
  

  In the new one, let's call it the Nice Peoples house.....is the Canal......intercoastal and ocean access (3 miles away).

  
  

   I think we can safely say that this part is tantalizingly better. (no offense meant to any Baptists).  Being an older home it will need a little more inside work before we can move in......but.......

  
  

  During our second viewing of the place, the local animals gave us a treat.....we saw: one 3 foot alligator, 2 big turtles, 3 big green parrots, 4 mutton flying fish....all together now....and a partridge in a pear tree.......

  
  

  Okay, no pear tree, but there is a tangerine tree, a orange tree and a kumquat tree.

  
  

  Most important it has the square feet we require and the pool that we will desperately need if we are not to be on the ocean beach. I would have never imagined that the concept 'desperately need a pool'. But then again, I would have never imagined myself living in Southern Florida....so here I am, and now I do.

  
  

  

  
  

  Tomorrow is the inspection, so if nothing major is discovered, we will proceed to the next step.

  
  

  Since we are holding our breaths right now, I think after tomorrow we will allow ourselves to get really excited.

  
  

  By the way, it is difficult to write a blog when you have two kitties sleeping on your chest.
