In case you missed it, we bought a retirement house in the mountains of North Carolina. You can find those posts by using the TAG MOUNTAIN HOUSE. We need to furnish it ASAP so we can do vacation rentals on it. That will help offset the expenses of the house, since we don’t live there […]

We bought a New House and What was I thinking
Just humor me for a minute while I explain. Below is the view from the new house. My father unbeknownst to me had always dreamed of moving back to the small town where he is from in Oklahoma. When he and my mom finally bought the farm, I wondered why on earth he would possibly […]

Reclaimed Hardwood Floors – New House Update
I’m excited to say that our new flooring has been installed. And by new, I mean it is new to us, but the wood used isn’t new at all. There are lots of hundred year old houses in our new neighborhood. Many are being restored, but when a house is deemed not worth saving, […]
