Decided to do this post in "parts" since I lost part of what I had typed and had to retype.... hit the wrong button and wasn't able to "retrieve" it....

The people with the house have already called back and left a message that they are interested in having me come look at it and talk to them..... I really expected it to take a couple of days for the 3 sisters to talk it over.... I am thinking that with the whole country in an uproar with the "c-virus" and all, that they are thinking better to strike while the iron is hot......
Said if I was interested still, ( and it was just yesterday that I called them), that they were interested in talking to me and that we needed to go up and go in the house and all.....
WOW

So, unless they are thinking a ridiculous amount of money..... it looks promising. I will call them back tomorrow, and see about going up to look at it on Monday. Saturday (tomorrow) I will be testing again, Sunday I know I will need to mostly give this ankle a break... so Monday looks like the best time to set it up to go up there. Since I had originally mentioned that I would consider a rent to own, and they said that it might be better if there is alot of "stuff" to go through with the county to get the piece surveyed off.... they might be thinking that I am pushing, which I am not. I really thought that maybe moving by summer if it could all be agreed on...... There is so much to consider ..... and if it does work out, I want to make sure that whatever needs doing in the downstairs - liveable - part.... is done, like painting and cleaning etc... before I move.... so I am not trying to do that sort of stuff " around boxes" etc..... May wind up having to pay "rent/mtg." in both places for a month or 2 which will be fine if I can get it for sure.... I have so much to clean out here... plus the ankle restrictions....
No sense of borrowing trouble or work until I actually go up there.

But still, it seems like it just might be meant to happen.....

I hope it all works out for you. It sounds like a good place.

Miss @farmerjan,

I really hope you can get this place. You have had to deal with a landlord who sounds like he doesn't care for the people he rents to, just that they pay the rent on time.

Will you be going back to have your ankle checked on? I sure hope your ankle heals up soon! I hope you post a picture of yourself doing a jig!

It sounds like a VERY workable situation. Pluses -- it's close to other areas you already own/lease/work. That sure helps. Then you "may" get lucky & get a couple acres around you. You know, even if they can't/won't sell acreage, may be able to lease a couple more beyond any sold, every reasonably. Hey, at some point it might be workable for everyone. Depending on "what needs doing" owner finance or lease to own, might be best option, to allow you time to do it and get a mortgage. Soooo many options there! Having your chickens, garden and fruit trees on your own place is going to be awesome!

I've had some lease to own that worked very well. Excited for you and Monday seems a long way off Believe you said it's closer to DS also.

Great news on the house. I hope your testing today was easy on your body. Rest up tomorrow!!

Saturday evening. Cool breezy after a wet start early from overnight rain. Didn't look at the rain gauge.. My son did wind up going with me to test, as the cattle hauling got cancelled due to rain last evening. It is a very difficult place to get in and out of and you don't do it if the ground is wet.
It went well as I stayed in the parlor for about half the milking and then went in the office to do the "paperwork" on the computer since there were quite a few new fresh heifers that had to be entered, as well as 2 months worth of stuff since I tested just before I had the surgery. The complete wash cycle on the pipeline finished just as I finished up the computer stuff, so he loaded it all and we came home. I made some spaghetti for me for supper as I wanted something easy and warm. Going in to take a shower and wash the cow manure out of my hair for a day or two.....

Talked to the people about the house and will go up Monday about 12:30 or so. Trying not to get too revved up about it yet. Need to see what all needs doing, since it has been shut up for several years. Don't know what I will be capable of doing myself.... but trying not to get ahead of things. It will all depend on the shape it is in and what they want for it for starters. I will get my son to go to look at it after I do the initial checking it out. If it all goes decent, it will be nice to not have to answer to a landlord who doesn't think that a farm should have animals on it.... and not have to deal with them in and out all the time. It is not as secluded or as quiet as here, more traffic, but might make a good place to just get put back together. And have MY STUFF, do things MY WAY. So we will see.

Don't have the energy to do anything here in this house tonight... got a pile of stuff that needs going through especially if I am going to be moving it (or not).... I just wish I was more mobile already. This boot is so awkward and heavy. Oh well, hopefully it will really make the difference I am thinking it will.

Wishing you the best on the next house. It does sound like it will fit your needs.

Ya never know, but certainly worth a look-see to find out....cosmetic can be easily fixed, adjusted, or changed....make sure it is "functional for you and your situation going forward....at this stage simple and easy makes a lot more sense....ask me how I kniw....
