Home stretch...maybe
Aug. 23rd, 2009 01:38 pmSo, hubby and I have been house-hunting. We think we have found one we like...click the picture for more pics.
My dad, who used to be a contractor and all around handy guy, is going to drive up and have a look at it with us (hopefully on Wednesday) and let us know if he thinks there are any obvious problems. We were so dazzled we just weren't paying much attention to looking for defects.
Very exciting.
We love the colors, love the layout, love the backyard.
Hope it passes the "Dad" inspection...
The other thing I wanted to mention is that I've been reading Georgette Heyer's romance novels lately. Recommended by the folks at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, these are Regency romances that simply captivate. There is a gentleness, a smartness and so much subtle humor to the writing that I stayed up late last night to finish "False Colours" which is a hoot. Can't wait to read the next one I have waiting.
