The decision was made, the house was found and in three weeks, we'll have a new address. The name of this blog will have to change from "On the Shores of Lake Vermont" (which was in reference to the lake we had in the street in front of our house when it rained) to something more appropriate now that we'll actually be living on a lake. (pic: the back fence at our new home).
Back in March we decided to find another place, and since then we'd been going to open houses, looking at houses online and just cruising neighborhoods in search of "FOR SALE" signs. Then suddenly we found a few places that interested us enough to contact a realtor we liked. So just like HGTVs house hunters we looked at three properties that weekend: 1) a beautiful brick ranch in Cherry Hills in need of some updating backed up to a lovely park with a loft and bedroom upstairs, 2) an adorable condo townhouse in Stone Creek with two bedrooms and bath upstairs and 3) in a nearby town where my grandparents lived when I was young child, a sprawling ranch in Crestlake with too many rooms, but wonderful flow, lake out back and a park across the street. Being in the same basic price range, nothing compared to the underpriced #3. Next summer the area along the back fence will be known as the flamingo garden. Let the mermaid windsocks fly!
