I had my experience with those too. I had given up and decided to just move to be with my kids when I happened on this one during the transition. It has been quite a surprise. Don't know if you recall, but I posted about this guy last year on the NASCAR thread. He's the one who gave me the Richard Petty Driving Experience for my 50th birthday. He wasn't a NASCAR fan when I met him and he is nominally a fan now, but *knowing* that was the perfect gift for me says all that needs to be said for him. ;-)
We are looking for a place in Bosque or Coryell counties. We prayed before beginning our search that we would find a special property that God had for us. Several times we have found things we thought were "it" and it just hasn't worked out. In the past 3 weeks we have seen 3 places that we loved only to find them immediately under contract. We believed each time that God must have something better for us, we just have to FIND it! LOL
I'd like it to be BEFORE time to put my above-ground garden in! I've already got onions and potatoes down in this yard. I should have put down some other things but I keep waiting for the move. I really don't want to be driving over here to pick my tomatoes, cukes, squash etc. I have enough perennials that I'm going to have to dig up and move... some of them for the 3rd time in 8 years!!
Oh yes I do remember, that was a very special gift especially from a non Nascar person. lol Have you used that yet?
I am sure when the perfect spot comes along it will be yours. God lays out things for us when the time is right and in this case when the land is perfect for you. Hoping he understands about the planting season which I am sure he does. :D
Do you have deer problems in your area? They are very plentiful here and I always drive into town carefully. I did have one jump out in front of me but thankfully she did not stop - one hop and then another hop off the road but it was like within 5 feet of my front bumper.
