Garden Master
We have been on pins and needles the last 10 days. Our daughter found a double wide on 8 acres 7 miles from them, a HUD repo. She and her husband met the realtor and looked it over and based on their report, we made the bid. WE WON!!! 
We now live in town in a rambling brick home. We have 16 acres 3 miles from town where we were going to build our retirement home. Then this thing of distance between our DD, DSIL and grand daughter came up and we asked ourselves WHY? Why retire here? It's 3 hours to go see them and we would be here.......they would be there...... ya' get the picture?
We sign the contract Monday and get to go see our new (to us) home. It needs minor work to get it up to snuff, about a couple thousand dollars. It is fenced on 3 sides, need to fence the front to keep my horses in. I can finally have a BIG garden!!
Now the moving, packing, TONS of stuff, followed by GARAGE SALE! My husband wants to work through the end of the year, which gives me plenty of time to get things done. We have to sell this house, our land, did I mention MOVE? Lots of work to be done.
And our DD just informed us that she is expecting. So there is another reason to get up there!
I have been about to bust, wanting to tell my TEG friends the good news, but waited to see if we got the bid. We have found several places we liked, but they were gone before we could even make an offer. We are excited to find this place at the price we got it for.
