That's what happened here in Wyoming. Between the oil tanking and policies that make coal production almost impossible, our state's economy has really been hit hard. The current Grand Master's Lady, Marci, is a coal miner in Gillette and around that area properties are empty, jobs lost, businesses closed, and our entire state budget has suffered.

Yup. Here too. We're the only province that doesn't have a provincial sales tax , but there's talk of adding one to try to recover.

Well... we accepted $6k more than what we bought it for.
Been paying a mortgage & utilities on it and haven't lived in it since June last year. At least those payments will be gone.

I'm sad though. I really loved that house. But I can't follow my dream of a farm AND have a house.

New beginnings often have hard endings. The journey will be worth it!

Think of all the Animals you will have!
