ONE DAY - BIG DIFFERENCE

SWMBO is now calm.  The Credit Union approved our line of credit today at the amount she wanted.  I finally reached the realtor in Prescott Valley and learned that we have the house.  We will move on January 15th, if not before.

Here's our new "cottage".




I say "cottage" because the front of it has that sort of "cottage-ey" look to it.  But it's actually a quite large house with a two car attached garage in the rear.  And there's a great view of the Black Hills to the northeast.  You can't see Mount Rushmore, though.

O.K.  I know.  THOSE Black Hills are in South Dakota.  But someone named these the Black Hills, too.

At any rate, we're headed back to cooler but milder weather in just a couple of weeks so I'd better get busy packing.

Oh and one other bit of business from yesterday's post.  Texas Tech's Red Raiders thoroughly humiliated the Arizona State Sun Devils in the Holiday Bowl last night.  I turned the television off when they intercepted a pass in our end zone with about 3 minutes left in the game.  So much for my pre-game bravado and, apparently, the opinions of a lot of sports pundits.

So now I think I've covered everything.

Happy New Year, everyone!

  1. While I don't envy you having to move, I'm sure the new "cottage" will be fabulous when SWMBO gets through with it.

    You know what they say about football....on any given game day, ANY team can beat ANY other team, pundits be damned. 2014 is just one day away. You'll knock 'em dead then. :)

  7. Looks like a very comfortable modern craftsman style abode. I see why you think of it as a cottage. Congratulations on getting it all done. Happy New Year, and best wishes on moving day.

  8. Nice looking house, not sure where the "Black Hills" are though. The temps will be much cooler, dare I say COLD, for a couple of months yet.

    1. The Black Hills are the mountain range which includes Mingus and Woodchute. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hills_(Yavapai_County)

      Cold weather I can handle. The heat of Phoenix summer was too much for us, though.

  10. Such a nice house and what a good find for you! I like it even better that it doesn't look like your typical "Arizona" house.
