FUTURE OF PARADISE

Good news. Our offer on a house was accepted. AND it requires only a month of living in the van down by the river! We saw many ridiculous houses for ridiculous prices in search of our little half a house (yes half a duplex) and break of willow trees. Considering that the condos behind Albertson's are 190,000 plus a monthly membership fee of 300 I think we found a good comfortable deal. If you go to the website for the condos you can look into the future of Paradise Valley. Over at my friend Martin's PDX apartments blog I see the prices for a one bedroom in Portland and I have decided to quit bitching. Then again, I still don't make the paltry money I was making in Portland here in Deadrock. I will show pictures when the deal gets closer too closing.

Congratulations! And how did you know i started that stupid blog? I started another one today, by the way: lolportland.blogspot.com

Duplex is much better than condo.

That's great news! Maybe you'll be able to have a little garden to yourself now, too.

not only can i have a garden, I get to water it for free! A crick runs through it! it has almost an acre of land with it. so a playhouse for little big man too.

At any rate, I can't wait to see the pics. An acre? Really? That's unheard of here in pdx. If I had an acre, I'd immediately be shoppin' around for goats. Not because I like goats or anything; it's just that i want to run an experiment.

Eve said...

Okay, I'll bite. What kind of experiment will you run with goats?

martin said...

It involves at least 2 dozen goats, a solar panel, and 500lbs of margarine. I'm gonna solve the world's Peak Oleo Crisis.

I am glad somebody had the sense to yell fire about our Oleo Crisis.
