House shopping

So Jake was in town yesterday...and he, Reid & I went house shopping. Saw one with some promise...

Jake & Reid are initially more excited than I am...I'm looking at the kitchen and thinking "ugh."

But, God bless Sweetness, he and Jake did find an old home for me - built in 1925. Has surprisingly good closet space. Lots on windows (with custom storm windows). Nifty old house features (like a fold-out ironing board in the kitchen -- that I would convert into something like a message center...). Beautiful fireplace in the LR. 5 bedroom, 2.5 baths - which would give us ample space for Reid's office and enough bedrooms...

We'll see...

Speaking of Jake - thank God he was visiting us yesterday. On the way home from the golf course on Saturday, the heat gauge in Sweetness' wheel went off...some clamp broke and some hose got a little melted hole in it...(can you tell when I tuned them out???) Anyway, 3 trips to the part store later - Jake gave the Explorer some much-needed lovin'.

you sound like me - tuning out your DH when he starts talking about cars...

i would love to see photos of the house - something with that much history must be amazing - you can probably feel the emotions and energy in the house...
