This is just a quick note to let people know I'm alive and well. I'll write about the Seattle trip some other time. For now we're house-hunting and I'm still volunteering.
OK, ours is a $200K - $250Kish neighborhood, so it might be worth checking out.
Our house was actually larger than we intended to buy, but hubby inherited a huge book collection from his father, so we wanted a "two living area" (weird term for a house with a living room and family room that I'd never heard before house-hunting) so that we could turn the other living area into a library.
It's worked pretty well, but we now have all the books up on brick'n'board shelves because we want to do attractive bookcases, and that's just going to take time and money to get done. Pretty funny looking, actually.
