We visited in my little town over a holiday weekend and didn't find a house. Later on, back in Virginia, Bruce found house on line.  A Cape Cod style home and a fixer upper, it has solar panels on the roof and a wood-burning fireplace. 


My guess is that someone starting remodeling the house and ran out of money.  The downstairs is mostly finished.  I don't like some of the paint color and the carpet squares in the living room, but these are cosmetic issues.


The upstairs needs more work.  For some reason, the gentleman who had the house knocked out one of the walls between 2 of the 3 buildings upstairs.  We plan to put this wall back in place.  The floors are hardwood, but damaged.  We will be sanding and painting the floors which has worked really well in our existing house.


We have put in an offer and have our fingers crossed.

  I am so blessed that my Dad and his wife, Pat, are still in my life and so healthy. They have been going to a spot in York, Maine for year...
