Pet Peeves

Architecture and landscape by committee. Thank You God that I don't live in a place like that (yet). May I never...

2 or 3 more years for us, then we're getting outta here.

But I also need a pretty house.

Same. My house is my happy place.

I lived and traveled at one time in a covered wagon, and I miss those days!

Okay, I would love to hear more about this!

Hmm. I posted about it somewhere. Let me see if I can find it.

I found it! Not a lot of “covered wagon” posts on BYC, so it was pretty easy. What an adventure!

It was. We traveled abot 3 months with this group, after which I got so sick from malnutrition plus a miscarriage that I nearly died. I weighed about 98 lbs and ran a temp of 105 and was hallucinating. Fortunately some of our Adventist friends had moved to Hamilton, MT, where we ended up and they took us in and nursed me back to health. Saved my life, more accurately. We stayed in Hamilton about a year, as I recall, I got pregnant again and we moved to Montrose, CO where our son was born. DH got into construction work and life went on.

These $700K+ new builds where everything is white and gray and lifeless. Top that off with vinyl plank flooring instead of hardwood. Oh, and your neighbor is right on top of you with their new 3,000 sqft monstrosity. We're also in the middle of nowhere. Enjoy your 90 minute commute to work.

Edit: Also, if you're so motivated to sell, try taking more than 10 photos.

The sad beige babies of houses

Well that was a scary ending! I’m glad you’re okay and still with us. Wagon life requires a certain vitality, I’m sure.

Indeed. I could see why that generation died of old age in their 30's for sure!

And thank you! I'm glad too, obviously!
