Problems……

We have our home and lake house for sale and are planning to move closer to College Station…Problem?

Most subdivisions have deed restrictions and of course that includes the number of pets you can have, with 5 dogs and numerous cats, we are not welcome in their fancy neighborhoods, so we have moved out to surrounding area. 

We want to be within 25 miles of College Station, but are not interested in a large plot of land, not more than 2 acres.  We have found several areas and hope to find a house already built, but will build our own if necessary.

We lost our” most favorite house ever”outside of Caldwell, but can’t see anyway we can physically maintain 3 places, so we are hoping to sell out house first and soon….then we can move forward.

I was really hoping to sell the home before the tax went into effect on Jan 1. 2013, but this seems to be wrong time of year to sell in the country….but maybe!

W have a great agent, Chandler, he has been great following us around or taking us to look for property or homes.  I would love to pay him his commission for selling our places.

Why am I writing this post….because I am frustrated and they say it helps if you write it down.

If you know anyone that wants a house and 40 acres or a great lake house on Lake Limestone, both can be seen on Brazoslandclassicrealty.com. They are both listed in Jewett, Texas.

Burlap Wreaths…….

I decided to use burlap and lace in my Den and on the Mantel so I would not have to change it for Thanksgiving.  Sorting thru years of stuff and packing up to move is more work than I anticipated. 
The inside of the house is looking great and I have quite a few empty drawers, but the boxes continue to multiply in the garage and you can hardly walk in the frou frou house.
I am praying the house sells quickly….not worried right now about lake house, it is probably the wrong time of year for it.
