OT - buy this house so I can go to Houston!

Oh My, LN, I am sorry to hear of a divorce, but freedom and independence is
Everything it's cracked up to be. BTW, you must see the new Coen Brothers'
movie with George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones called "Intollerable
Cruelties!" You must see it to get a big belly laugh; you probly need one
right about now. We saw it yesterday and screamed with laughter. I love
anything the Coen Brothers make.

I will leave this heaven cuz I can't afford to keep it. I'm just shy of a
divorce and the value of this house has doubled in the 5.5 yrs we've had
it.

I can pay for a condo outright and live pretty well. If I stay in the house,
it will be tight and stressful all the time

i think you are a very wise woman!

I wish I could take my garden with me. I can come to terms with leaving
the
house, but I just want my back garden to come with me. Especially my
pond. I have another fish or two hiding in there. I got 5 so far. The
frogs
are getting a bit ticked at me for waking them constantly as I "fish" for
the rest of them.

my

gorgeous.

LOL.... well, two hinderances to this. 1. this is a townhouse (the one I
want) with a garage on the ground floor, main living on next floor, then
bedrooms above that and a loft at the top. So, even if I took a condo that
didn't have a garage on the ground floor, I wouldn't have room for the pond.
But I'm gonna try to get a whiskey barrel pond on my deck.

LN!!! If your condo is built on a concrete slab, there is NO reason you
cannot have a pond..... indoors! Find an area in the entry or a corner
of the living room. Put up a rock wall with water running down it and a
jutted out area where you can make a small waterfall. You'll want to
include some pockets to add plants to the wall. This all empties into a
pre-formed pond which is set on the floor and then enclosed in
(concreted) rocks to match the wall. Can you envision it yet? You can
make pockets in the rocks to add plants in pots all around the water and
with some hanging over the water. Then add some light fixtures to
spotlight the whole thing, using gro-bulbs..... This is getting
exciting! Wonder if *my* next house will accommodate a pond??? ;-)))

They have been eating off the pond all summer (I don't feed them when they
are outside) so they just look at the food and say, "What's that?" and don't
try to eat it. I did try that to begin with. I think I have just one more
left. Had a good day fishing today.

The only things I'll really be sorry about is losing my pond and my garden.
Being really close to people I don't know yet isn't thrilling (have great
neighbors right now), but I'm ok with it all. It's a very nice condo
community that I'm planning to move to, tho. I know a lot of people who
either do or have lived there and they all love it.

LN-

As someone who is losing her own lovely home in similar circumstances,
you have my deepest sympathies. What you and your children are going
thru is bad enough, but losing the beautiful home you love really
compounds the hurt. Try to look forward to the unknown future with a
sense of adventure and as a challenge- it helps!

Hugs 'n hugs 'n hugs,

Leslie & The Furbabies

LOL Thanks. You'll have to win the lottery to afford the commute!

Okay, I still can't figure this out, so I will ask. Ellen, why
are you capturing the fish? Are you planning to install them in
an indoor tank? Fry them for supper? Feed the cat?

the fish in from my backyard pond. They aren't sluggish enough for slow me.
