Vorlon Whispers

I wasn’t able to log on last night. The blog server was down or something. I felt rather disappointed in the house I went to see. It was a lovely house and it could fit my needs, however, I have a very keen sense of smell. When I walked in the door, I smelled urine covered up with either candles or a plug in. The Candle or plug in gave me a headache. The lady had a little dog in a cage. I don’t know whether the smell came from the dog’s cage or if it was in the living room rug and down into the hard wood. My sister-in-law felt the same way. It was a big turn off in spite of the house being a nice house.

It was about 2 blocks from Rick and Sylvia’s so we walked. John the Builder, no relation to Bob the Builder, was working on a house two more blocks away. It was getting on to noon and getting hot. We tried to keep to the shade but we turned left instead of right and went a couple blocks out of our way. We went down and talked to John about building on my family land.

We looked at the house John was building and he showed me the plans for that house. It was a two story and no room for a downstairs bedroom. After what happened to Ted, a downstairs bedroom is a good idea even if it is used for a den. It was selling for$269.00. No garage, no deck, or patio. The lot was 40 feet wide and not much room between neighbors. My family land is 75 feet by 120 feet and adjoins my brother Don’s property. Actually, the land is his property but if he sells, the proceeds are divided between the three of us. I would have to buy out my two brothers for the land. I think the house I would like to have built would cost too much money. I would like a sun porch for my plants. I have this in my current house. The other house had nowhere to put my plants unless I put them in the living room or one of the bedrooms with plant lights.

It’s all overwhelming. I need to find a job over in that area to determine house much house I can afford. I have no contacts for jobs over there. My contacts are here.

I will post some of my in process and finished renovations. Now that my house is shaping up, I hate to part with it. Especially since it is nice than the houses I have looked at. One that is equal would cost twice as much as I can sell this one.

Danny is growling. He has to be the center of my attention and he doesn’t understand what I am doing sitting here rattling the keyboard. I picked him up and he wants to do some typing himself. Actually, he is pushing my hand with his nose. I guess he wants me to pet him.
It’s time to take him OUT. I have to spell it anymore. He knows what that is. Also, WALK and let’s go.
