Relationship/s
Hopalong:
Thanks, guys...your being happy for me is soooo...happy!
Did more digging and found the owners of record, two older women in M's neighborhood, in fact. It's in a Family Trust, they're the Trustees. So I've written them a letter expressing our interest. The two sisters named in the trust didn't answer the phone or return my call (I suspect it was their younger brother who also lives there whose voice I heard).
We're all excited but who knows.
We're not EXACTLY "engaged" but I did refer to M as my "fiance" in my letter to the sisters, which he saw, so I think we've kinda slid sideways into it. I do want those securities in place before I commit, though.
Amazing time.
We're heading off to a little nearby river town for a picnic so I've gotta boogie.
Hugs

Hey Lighter, I mean Amber (whoops!)--
Forgot to answer your question.
It's not Craftsman, it's late vernacular Victorian.
1901. Gables, trim, porches, and the brick stable. I dug into the history and it was built by a local shoemaker named Sextus. I love that. Told M we'd name our next dog after him but it'd be awkward when I'm yelling from the porch: Sexxxyyyy! Time for dinner! Heeeeeere, Sexxyyyy!
It's 2500 sq ft (huge for most human homes, yet a real leap from my 1100). I sure don't need or desire that much space (being a small-footprint afficionado) but M is himself with his antiques and art and rugs...AND he snores, so this could be for us a beautiful compromise. We found out from a walker that it's vacant so went up and gawked in the windows, etc. Looks relatively untouched and not bad condition, either. M expects he'd sink in almost what he'd buy it for to renovate but seems exhilarated by the idea.
I've had a lot of experience with falling in love with houses to have them not work out, though, so I'm keeping a lid on the daydreams. Or trying to.
Hugs

Meh:
Hehehe 😋 well looking at houses sounds fun. I like to see the inside of houses for sale just for the heck of it.
Hopalong:
Me too, G...
I've always been a house buzzard.
Something about imagining alternate lives, I think.

Or living a new one Hops.
When there are major changes - and the struggles to adapt to those changes - and one reaches a plateau - it's a chance to take a breath, look around, and realize you've grown into another fuller version of yourself. More doors of possibilities await now, than ever.
Or more new rooms to make nests in. :D
