It's funny how life is. One minute you're driving to work fretting over how in the world you're ever going to find a job in Montana or Colorado or back in California and the next minute you're enthralled with a vintage Victorian house that's walking distance to the hospital where you work. This is the house; it's for sale, and I might be able to buy it! A lot of things would have to fall into place for this to happen....like I'd have to sell my acreage for the right price, etc....but I believe I could make this little gem my home. It's about the same size as the house I have now, and it's been meticulously restored by the judge and his wife who currently own it. Not that I like Victorian very much, but I could make it work. I could park my car in the detached two-car garage and walk to work...it's only about 4 blocks. At the current price of gas that would be a real blessing. The yard is postage-stamp size (quite a change from 12 acres---would this make me crazy?), but it's been landscaped beautifully with a tiny pond and trickling water spout as well as a little footbridge in back. My favorite thing about this house is the almost brand-new Viking gas stove in the kitchen...a cook's dream!I'll keep you posted on this adventure.

Wow! That looks really great. You sound pretty serious about it. Keep us posted.
About the header: go into the layout portion of your blog, click on "edit" in the header block, and it'll show you where you can import a photo or whatever. You may have to alter the size to get it to fit properly. Let me know if it doesn't work.
