How was your day? Once again, I went looking for a home. These damn homes appear to be *nice* until you have an inspector come in. GOOD LAWD, it is amazing at how dilapidated these residences are.
Today, the home that I saw was GORGEOUS, except that the master bathroom needed a minimum of $5K worth of work done to the floor/shower. They had a major flooding and never truly fixed it - which leads to mold; warped expensive tile, etc. . . The bedroom had a SITTING ROOM that overlooked the living room. It was a mini-balcony.
LAWD. I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw lemon and orange trees in the backyard. Folks, when you get lemons, make lemonade. Here's today's photo:
I just love the colors found in this photo. What do you think?Then, Mr. A. and I drove around trying to find me a house. We didn't luck on anything in my price range. Who ARE these people who can afford $270K on these homes?!?!?!? People are being forced to walk away from their homes. We stopped a woman and inquired about the price of her home. She quoted us $255K. The owner stated, "We love our home, and if we could stay here, we would."
Sad.
We then went to Mr. A's friend's home. GOOD GAWD, this woman has a PHENOMENAL home. The decor is to DIE for. Her bedroom - amazing; kitchen - divine; dining room; straight out of a magazine. I got a pic of them:
Speaking of beautiful homes, I was off to Mr. A's crib so that he could fire up the grill for me. Here is the "Chef" preparing his sauce:
As usual, we had a BLAST. The meal was great. My peach cobbler turned out nice.
Tonight, I leave you with the following photo:
I look forward to seeing your SECOND photo of the New Year!!!
