two of everything and more and less by manford

We now have dibs on a house - just waiting on clearance from an attorney and some money from the states - pictures to follow if we can figure out a small glitch on the other computer. Described in real estate terms as a "hidden treasure" this 60's house with a late 70's addition has three bedrooms, two baths, a computer nook "heaps of storage, practical (this means small and somewhat outdated) kitchen, established treed lawn (trees really need trimming), wide backyard (relatively speaking) and a double internal access garage..." It is within walking distance (about 4 - 5 blocks) of the kids school, on a corner lot. A stell roof. We got a very favorable (favourable) report from the building inspector yesterday. The roof could do with a paint job and there is a need for painting here and there, and we will hope. fully get a kitchen redo. Before we move in. We will need two sofas, two chairs, a washer (front loading) a dryer, a bed for Emily, a bed for mom and dad, possibly an upgrade on a shower, a big trim of lots of vegetation and high tree limbs, and no doubt other stuff. I am inactively seeking gainful employment if I can find a way to work with dizzy patients - I really don't want to sell hearing aids anymore, which is what current audiology positions are for. We shall see. Hope all who read this are well and happy. I think this move away from the nest I created in Topeka is a good one for making me know what is important in life - health, friends, family, spiritually. Carrie will probably write up our weekend trip to the East coast.
