Hi Sugarpants!<\/b><\/p>\n

Sorry for the silence during the week, but it’s been fairly topsy-turvy over here. I can’t say a lot about some of it, but I’m happy to report that I’m looking for a Cute and Cozy Cabin in Idyllwild, CA<\/a> right now. It’s always been a dream of mine to have a place there of some sort and I credit my brother (Stinko!) for kicking me in the pants and helping me realize that it’s not a far-off idea but rather an attainable goal. <\/p>\n

I took a look at some cheap places yesterday and I was left unimpressed. One was shabby and house-like (as opposed to cabin-like. Knotty pine, good. Drywall, bad.), another was crammed against the neighbors, the third was overpriced, and the last one—that I fell in love with for its quirky charm—seemed to be falling apart. My folks trundled up the hill to ride shotgun and Dad thought the last place was on the verge of literally blowing apart with its poor construction, shoddy electrics, and the painful drainage problems of the lot itself. I half agreed and took a tentative pass, only to get a call a half hour later that somebody else had snapped it up.<\/p>\n

But hey, I was just looking, right? Not ready to buy. Nope, not ready. Not yet.<\/p>\n

Maybe this is the wrong time. It is their prime tourist season after all, so the other out-of-towners may be snapping up the affordable ones while they remain affordable. Maybe I’ll be left with the expensive fixer-uppers for a couple months, but I’ve got nothing but time.<\/p>\n

It’ll be a grand adventure though. Don’t you think?<\/p>\n

Sure you do!<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n
