I t is said to keep articles short and sweet on the internet. No matter how hard I have tried to exercise this model, it is difficult for me to shrink the mammoth mounds of information researched into mini molehills. In addition, when I seek out information and come across the “short and sweet” version, I find myself continuing the search for “more”.
Most of my writings incorporate a horse topic and I somehow tend to create lengthy reads when I combine stories of our big move to the country along with the lives we share with our horses. Additionally, with the move around the bend more stories will be forthcoming on country living. I felt it best to make some changes and divide up the content on future writings to allow simplicity and more mobility within the site. Most blogs will be on a specific subject matter, although there will be times when blogs will be general in scope covering several categories. Either way, it is still not likely to guarantee a short read. There are various labels pertaining to horses and three new categories will be added “The Move”, "Changes" and later “The Journey” . These will cover the accounts of our lives with the move and the various roads we encounter with the horses. Whichever one I write, I do encourage and look forward to the exchange of experiences, comments or suggestions from readers. I hope these information swaps benefit all involved – and ultimately the horses, of course.
The move requires so much effort, from selling our home and uprooting everything to uncovering that special place we would like to call home, the current events seem endless. The course of the move has taken another setback, leaving us disappointed and exhausted. The deal on the house and property we wanted to purchase fell through about a month ago that left us drained and empty and we needed time to recover. Shortly, we understood a push forward was essential. So, with gathered energy and spirits we continue the travels back to the country in pursuit of finding a home. A general description of the property we are searching for includes; a historical home with plenty of acreage, in a small town – (actually, the smaller the better). Even with the current list of homes that meet our criteria narrowed down, applying the pros and cons of each property still generates a lot of discussion between those involved in the selection. Also, the decision remains open about whether to choose from among the homes we have already considered, or to keep the possibility of discovering another suitable property on the table. With all these limitations set forth, we are still eager to make the switch. We also await the sale of our current home.
Our home has been on the market for two months. There has been a moderate flow of buyers,but no bids yet. The current economy has affected the housing market and property values have dropped considerably over the past few years. Devoting many discussions to these conditions led us to make another change. We have decided to lower the asking price in selling our house, and in turn lower the offer on whichever property we choose. Let us hope this strategy works and increases the pace towards moving. We have been lined up and ready for quite some time now to get all these processes accomplished.
