Hunting for a Home

Margaret and I have decided recently that it is getting close to time to find a home to buy in this lovely little town we call home. Margaret has told me several times that she "wishes" she had a "tree to really climb" in her back yard. I have looked at several houses since the beginning of this year and have been talking to Cousin Anne and Mike about the possibility of buying their house if they find a place they like. They have been looking to move for some time, but have not found the right place yet and they do have a MAGICAL back yard. Anyway, in the "hunt for a home" I have found that real estate in this SMALL town that DOES NOT have a good grocery store and is at least 35 minutes away from the closest Target, is absolutely outrageous!! Seriously, we could have just as much if not more house for our money 3 minutes away from Target and in a great school district. YIKES! This is quite disheartening for me, but the search will continue. Hopefully, some sellers will realize that the housing market is not so great and that asking prices need to come down....a girl can always hope!
If anyone of my fellow small towners read this blog and knows of a great little home in this area, any information or advice is appreciated.
