We went to see the farmhouse in Craig Country, and it was like....Halloween. It really was twenty minutes from Blacksburg, which is wonderful. The views are beautiful, and sitting on the front porch would be a dream, but all the money in the world wouldn't be able to fix that house. Holes in the ceiling. Water on the floor. Hearing gunshots as we got out of the car didn't help. The owner had not been watching any HGTV shows on how to sell your house. The giant dog poops in the yard don't help or the dog smell in the house. The guns in the bedroom aren't a big seller either.The original log house exposed on the inside of the kitchen was very cool. The bathroom just made me laugh.
Thank goodness that we went to Floyd afterward for a nice afternoon of organic apples and homemade cheese. I tasted some homemade frozen peach yogurt made with sheeps milk--ethereally good. We then took Heike to the slightly decrepit dream house to walk around outside and mend our househunters depression from the other house.
Ella had school today, and now I think she is getting sick. I saw some runny noses last week and knew that she'd be fighting them. I just hope the baby doesn't get a cold too soon. She seemed to have a great day, and I went in and watched her from the library room for the last half hour. She was sitting right in the front and was raising her hand a lot. She is getting to know the other kids and learning lots of songs. Earlier she was talking to herself about simple addition. 2 plus 2, and she had me sing the goodbye garden children song with her three times.

Offer him sixty thousand and see if he'll take it? :) For that price, even if you put $100k into it and basically BUILT A NEW HOUSE, it would still be... moderately reasonable. I speak from experience, though, having the worst house on the block...
