A few possibilities..



Today we drove all around to heck and back today to check out different houses and areas. A few were down twisty roads and a ways out. One we never actually made it out to because there was a no trespassing sign on a private road that had a group of houses, one being for sale. The sign basically said that *if* we did not have business with the families that lived on the street and *if* we "survived", we would be prosecuted for trespass. It was very threatening and decided that it was not a place we wanted to be associated with.

We did find a couple that were of interest - Pictured here. The yellow house has a "4 mountain view". It was a great day to see this house because we could clearly see 2 mountains: Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens. It was a gorgeous day- perfect for house hunting. The other 2 mountains would be Mount Adams and *maybe* Mount Ranier, but that would have to be an extremely clear day. It not only has views, but 5.20 acres as well.

The brown one is a bit bigger at 10 acres as well as a bigger house, though not all of the interior house is complete. The 10 acres is very level - lots of room for an orchard and/or the addition of Douglas Fir trees for a forest tax deferral. The house is in one of my favoritely named places: : "The Hamlet of Beavercreek". A HAMLET! How cool is that?! Some issues with this one - it will need some work and currently it has about 10-20 junk cars/trucks on it along with a boatload of debris. We would have to make sure it all got cleaned up prior to full payment being made. It maybe a total junker, but who knows. I like its lodge-like look on the outside.

(ahhhhh!)

Okay, new story: In the middle of writing this, Mark burned some toast! OMG x 1000!!!! The smoke detectors work! The dog ran in! The kid jumped out of bed! I am pretty sure I dove for cover! My ears were screaming and starting to bleed! It was awful! I took the broom and was ready to beat them into the ceiling. Then, they stopped (all synchronized). Oh, my ears were ringing and my head was pounding. About 2 minutes passed... then they went off again. I am pretty sure if you don't evacuate, they will give you hearing damage - YES, it is that bad.

Okay, ears will be ringing for awhile and I'm just about ready for bed.
