So it is official! My parents and myself found and bought (well they did the buying I just helped with the house hunting) a home in rural Wyoming in around 2 months! So a very long story cut a bit shorter we were looking at a place in Jan and unfortunately the bank that my parents were going to use for the mortgage would not take it on unless they put way more down to be fair they did this with a few other houses that met their standards too so! So they were dropped and we made a mad dash to find a house, so by the end of Feb start of March we found a house in this little rural town and my parents decided it looked good just by the photos and found a video up on youtube from the realtor and decided to make a offer of the full asking price with the agreement that they would fly in to see it and if it looked in good shape the full amount was theirs and wanted to do a quick sell and it was agreed to. Well a few days before my parents were to fly I had found it was removed from the market and well our realtor called to ask what was up and they said they sold it and there was no proof of the agreement and just very unprofessional and rude to our guy. But I found a place and made the joke that the basement looks like a dude with an axe would be waiting for you down there (poor lighting when the pictures were taken), my father saw it and liked it and they went to go ahead and view that place instead.
Fast forward to now my parents now own that house that I made the axe wielder comment about lol. It does need a bit of TLC the previous owner it seems did not secure the place that well and it appears a dog used one of the carpeted rooms as a bathroom so needless to say my mother is pretty annoyed by that. There are a few other little bits that have been annoying to me just because my parents are old and can't get around well but I am not going to list those for various reasons, but I will say one of our new neighbours was kind enough to offer my parents help moving some bits in and I don't think they will ever know how much I appreciate that kind gesture they showed to my parents!
I have been thinking once we get somewhat settled in I would see about doing some local volunteering, they do have a community garden and I was thinking of volunteering there and I do like gardening. I am a little sad of the rules they have in regards to having chickens specially in seeing how they are roughly a hour or a little over from the two bigger towns/cities where one would have to do major shopping and the price of eggs is pretty high and it's only going to get worse as now the bird flu is back in the USA. I am hopeful that the town is going to be great and there will be some really good neighbours. I mean I can easily walk to the little public library and the school is the next road over, did I mention that the roads are like the dirty and gravel rural roads? It's so rural that each house is allotted a po box and when the house sells that po box goes with it!
My mother has been sending me videos of deer just walking though peoples yard and grazing with their babies and such which it's neat but my daughter is like me and wants to darn near make everything a pet! Speaking of pets my last post we had lost one of our new pups and uh that really sucked we got her cremated and we now have her remains here with us, but my mothers friend heard we lost our little Ethel and long story short we got a puppy from them her name is Rosie she is a black brindle cane corso and she is around 9 weeks now she is a sweet little pup my daughter wants her to sleep in bed with her currently but uh I don't think in the long run when she is pushing 90-110lbs and about as long as my daughters bed that she would be so keen on the dog in bed with her. My parents have been really great by helping us pay to get our dog and cat from the UK over to here so with any luck they will be here next month as will my husband to see all of us give us a hand at moving, spending our daughter birthday with her and just exploring the new place in Wyoming and then go back to the UK to finish working on the house there to hopefully sell it in the coming months plus he does still have a job there and we still need to get stuff sorted for a visa for him but are not pulling the trigger until after we move and our place in the UK gets put on the market.
I am really happy to be back in the USA because there is more kosher food over here and going full kosher will be easier food wise. I will hopefully have a garden next year in Wyoming as it's pretty much gone at this point to start plus there are other things that need to be done before that. With that said I do have one question before I wrap this blog post up how many of you that are still reading are interested in salt and pepper shakers? some are vintage and some are really ugly a lot were made in Japan as well, just drop a comment below or if you know my instangram leave a comment on my most recent post about it. Who knows I might post a few pictures of some of these sets!
