Greetings Everyone!
It's been a while since a new post, so I guess it is time. Last week was a little sullen for me with it being "Mom's Week". Mother's Day and Mom's birthday all in one week. I didn't really think about it too much, just had that "in a funk" feeling I usually get in August. Most of you know what I mean.
I got the contract on the house the other day, and the cost went up dramatically! I contacted the owner, and she explained some zoning changes, etc. that Stone County had implemented. She agreed to honor the initial price she quoted. This truly is a cost to these folks. They are now only allowed to rent to one family per month! I feel pretty lucky to have gotten this deal, so I'm going to go ahead and send the contract and my credit card number for the $3,000 deposit. This is a little unnerving, but since they are cutting us a deal, I don't want to wait until the end of the month and risk losing out. So, if you all don't want me to go to the poor house, or debtor's prison, please don't forget those contributions at the end of May. If I win the lottery before then, the trip is on me! I did look again and consider some lower cost houses, but having done this before with a group not quite so large, I really think having the two "living areas" and the huge dining area will make things much nicer for us. I'd like to be able to do this every few years, but in the event that is not possible, we might as well have the most awesome memories possible from this reunion.
Hope all are well.
Love you all, Bean
