BIG NEWS- WE BOUGHT A CONDO

Listen-

Grab your coffee or tea

or vodka-

this is more wordy than most of my posts.

I am the person that has always said,

"I will NEVER live in a condo"~

Yep!  That was me!

NEVER!

Plus, after selling our home on the bay,

we have been renting from

the greatest landlord(s).

A brand new twindo that is gorgeous--

but not ours, you know?

I sure hate letting them know

we are moving.

So-Why are we moving?

Life changes.

Health changes.

Needs & wants change.

There is a small complex

that I have always loved.

45 units total-

3 or 4 blocks from my daughter's home.

NOTHING ever comes up

for sale in this complex.

Well, guess what?

Being in the real estate business,

I pull up new listings everyday

in the price range I am 

interested in.

Lo & Behold (don't ya love that old saying)--

a WONDERFUL UNIT came

on the market in our price range.

I jumped on it.

In less than 30 days the unit 

was ours-

signed, sealed and delivered.

Here's the best part-

the original owner's daughter

is one of the nicest people

I have ever not met.

We have texted and emailed

and she is thrilled that we will

LOVE THIS PLACE

like her mom did.

She is going to come see us

after we get the work done

and we move in.

So-the condo---

California Shed Style Condo.

It was build in 1976 and the

original owners took 

excellent care of it.

It is in wonderful condition

but dated!

My son, Ryan, has graciously

stepped up to the plate 

and is overseeing the work being done there.

The best part is that it has a 

PRIVATE FRONT PATIO

and an even more

PRIVATE BACK PATIO.

We don't back up to any other condos.

However, we do back up to 

A GRAVEYARD.

My wonderful son has said that

"when the time comes"

he can just throw us over the fence.

Yes-it is true!

I raised a kid that has my 

warped sense of humor.

Not everyone thinks we are funny---

starting with MyHero~

So, I will be doing lots of

BEFORE & AFTER 

pictures as this reno progresses.

We are slated to move in by 

the end of March.

Meanwhile-

I have to get busy 

a-sortin' & a-purgin'.

Wish me luck cuz you know 

I will need it.

Just a little teaser for you---

Our backyard---

OH DEER!
