I just asked the bro if he would sell this place to me, the trailor and 2 acres and he came up with $150000 for a 25 yo two bed one bath trailor with barn, garage and additional room.sukipoethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-70643840203837174732009-05-25T00:53:52.704-04:002009-05-25T00:53:52.704-04:00Miss Em is adorable, and she sure gets around,I see!<br />That is a super header photo,,,the lilacs here are puny,,,but where I grew up they were like these.

No wonder you have enjoyed your time living there. I once lived in the mountains and we planted a lilac tree at our back door.

Well, the old man collapsing probably isnt at the top of folks gossip list. i wouldnt have known either but my folks told me back when it happened which seems like just yesterday.<br /><br />Britt-arnhild, it is.

Mom and Dad put up a trailor for themselves (to retire in) instead of living in the farmhouse as they originally intended. Nice of them not to kick my brother out when they decided to retire.sukipoethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-18249798344703736902009-05-23T17:45:52.763-04:002009-05-23T17:45:52.763-04:00Lucky you, how thoughtful of Mim.

You'd think my NH relatives would have told me. Maybe they did.<br /><br />hah, I didn't mean the world fell apart because I moved, by the way.
