Well, from us seeing what you are, we have pretty well selected #2. (I feel like I'm on a game show) With it being VACANT it seems to be calling your name...you could even most probably get a 30 day rental on it until close, especially if approval is done & paperwork is slow. Hey, I too love a hot tub and that one is inviting isn't it? (even without snowflakes ).

Zamboni! We got 8 inches all in 1 day here last winter...it was crazy when we usually don't get any snow. Freak storm.

we moved from MN, where it snows in late Oct or November and stays until March. Winter temps regularly get down below 0° (as low as -25° with wind chills as low as -75°). I remember some nasty snowfalls.

In 2003, we moved to PA, where Feb can bring 36" of snow in 3 days. The difference is, in PA if you wait a few days, temps go back up into the 40s & 50s, and all you have left is big piles of snow in parking lots.

Short fuse moves can be painful. We ran out of time getting out of Charleston and had to make 3 trips from Charleston to Middle Tennessee in 4 days. The 1st trip was my shop tools, the 2nd was my lumber and finally our household goods.

@Devonviolet I moved here from Fort Drum, NY (which is in the Thousand Islands region and gets that fun lake effect snow off Lake Ontario) - it's a welcomed relief not to shovel feet of snow every day.

I hear ya!!! That lake effect snow is bitter cold!! Some of my worst shoveling memories were -5° temps, with packed snow. The worst is when you clean out the end of the driveway, only to have the city snow plow block you in with 4 feet of hard pack snow! Then you have to get the pick ax out to break it into chunks that can be carried to the area between the curb & sidewalk.

And you had better wear several pair of thermal gloves, if you don't want your fingers frost bitten! Ugh! I REALLY don't miss that at all!

Thanks everyone for the reminder of what my life will be like in 4 months

Just got on here to catch up. Have been busy lately, so busy that I was exhausted and when I sat down last night, that was it. DH woke me up at 10:30 to go to bed.

Our vote is for #2 also. The kitchen cabinets aren't that bad-they sure look bigger than what I have in Double Wide Diva Land. You can always put a coat of paint and new knobs on them to make them new again. We like the land, it has pasture and trees, fencing and then there's that Jacuzzi..... But you have to go see them and make up your mind..... #2 is vacant....

It will be fun to meet up for dinner again. How about Mexican? Mom and Pop café? @Devonviolet can show us the culinary delights of Sulphur Springs. @Ferguson K it would be fantastic if you and John could come too. We have a spare bedroom if ya'll want to stay overnight and go back home on Sunday so you don't have to be on the road half the night. We would love to have ya'll!

Sounds like Joe might be having hot tub parties for all the (nearly) local BYH members

I hope that #2 works out Joe, since we all like it the best of the 3 I don't think the kitchen cabinets are all that bad, other than the "lacy" added on "trim". I bet those come off pretty easily. I like that they have a lot of pictures both inside and out. Suggests they aren't trying to hide anything "by omission".

Mexican? You want Mexican? We got Mexican! Or, more correctly "Tex-Mex".

There are 3 Mexican restaurants in Sulphur Springs. We have eaten at two of the three and weren't all that impressed.

So, I got online & looked up number 3:

Los Mochis 2, at the Valley Fair Outlet Mall. Actually, there is a strip mall behind Valley Fair. At one end is Famous Footwear. Lis Mochis 2 is at the other end.

The reviews are mixed. But, they seem tohave a loyal, local following. If y'all are game, DH & I are game. I love good Mexican food. Tex-Mex is okay too.

Another option would be Richie's Grill & Cafe in Winnsboro. Richie has several of these cafes in the area. The food is Tex-Mex and I know it is excellent! FYI Latestarter, Richie's is in Winnsboro about 25 minutes from the Royal Inn in Sulphur Springs.
