House Update

I've been afraid to write about the house we've been pursuing out of fear of jinxing it, but since we are almost done negotiating, it seems safe now. There do not seem to be any barriers to this going through.

Here is the google street view:

And a few of my own pictures:






As you can see, it is still lived in. The good news is that this is not a foreclosure or a short sale. The family is moving up, not down.

The backyard, which I didn't photograph for some reason, has irrigated garden beds, a number of trees, and other mature plantings. The trees include 2 lemon trees, a pomegranate, and 2 fruit or nut trees that we couldn't identify as they were still pretty leafless. There are also prickly pear cactus (which we first ate as belus in Eritrea) that have clearly been vigorously harvested over the years.

Keep your fingers crossed for us, and start making plans to help us move or visit us!
