Promise Acre: Our Journey

Hope her house sells soon, but then she will have to make up her mind what she wants to do.

That Ritchie is a hairy beast! LOL He's so pretty when he slicks out.

Not us, this would be 100% Mom's

Isn't her current/old place 100% mom's and paid off already?
How much acreage where she is currently living?

Why does that matter? But yes it has a small equity loan on it, no mortgages. ...it's a money pit and she's had it on the market for 2 years to downsize and move near us.

So have been leasing the kids qh mare Daisy since last May. As of today she’s forever ours!! Last summer was offered the opportunity to purchase her but wasn’t able until today. Probably have lots of other things the $ could have gone too but it isn’t often you get to purchase a unicorn for your kids’ first horse!!

Sandhill cranes over the farm, they are here twice a year on their migration, the farm isn't far from a major stopping area.

learned a new skill, knitting hats. DH requested a grey one

the wind damage at the farm... the front of this peak also looks like this... so definately needing a siding job sooner than we were thinking. We also had our tv anntenna go through our garage roof out our place too. With the wind 50-60mph for sustained times over the weekend it could have been worse.
Mom had another showing, she said it was the people who made the offer in Jan. They are now pre approved. so also a possible lead on a home for the 2 mares she's been trying to sell.
Am hopeful but not holding my breath on both accounts. She did make an offer on the trailer on the acre but they accepted one that wasn't contigent. So back to figuring out what to do on the farm for her living space. Hoping for one more week of crummy cold temps then maybe Spring temperatures.
Going to start pushing my baked goods again so far there's been a good response to my fudge. So maybe that might help on the finances... IDK though takes a bit of fudge to make a profit... but it might sell decent at the famers market too. Also looking into some work from home options. We just can't do two properties long term... probably should of had it in writing that she'd auction it off by now. I can't get DH on the idea to get ours on the market asap then live in the camper if need be.... he's probably right though it'd be tough in a 23' camper with 3 beds for 5 people long term.... doing school would be tough too.

Take it from one that knows....the more people ya have...the larger space gives people a cushion....cramped up is only going to get old and tempers will flare....ya feel like a sardine in a can and people get ancy......the fudge sounds really good and as good as your baking Is.........I'm sure ya could sell some cookies and cupcakes, too!!.....

Sorry to see the siding damage. We had alot of wind here, trees down, power outages although this time not me. Son spent time working (VDOT) as a road washed out and then alot of trees down and some other road damages Sun through Tuesday.
Got some sun the last few days. The ground is drying up where the water doesn't lay, from the wind for 3 days. One more day of sun, but now we are back to looking at rain coming in Thurs, and possible SNOW again this next weekend into the first of the week with temps in the 20's & 30's. It was 60 today in the sun. Hope that your mom's place can get sold and things smooth out there for you. Shame the trailer got sold so quick. I think you need to get something done quicker rather than later on the farm where she could move there for awhile??? Not being there, I certainly can't say what would be best.
