It's still cold here. Still snow on the ground. From Thursday the 5th until Wednesday the 11th I don't think it got above freezing. Lovely to look at. Not so much fun to be out in.
It was interesting. When the sun shown, it was delightful. But on the days it was overcast and dreary, I felt much less productive. I just wanted to sleep or snuggle by the fire.
I did talk Tom into going to look at houses on Monday. Two that we thought were interesting-- actually 3 were under contract by the time we got out to look. The two we looked at were ho-hum. Then we looked at a house that was to be auctioned off at Auction.com. It was a nice house with good potential, starting bid price: $15,000. But. BUT. They offered no guarantees. I needed to get a preliminary title report on my own. If I bid and won. It was mine-- good, bad or indifferent.
Having suffered from one bad title, this worried me. So I called and started a title search. I waited to bid until I got it. It went up to $25,000. I really didn't want to go higher than that. It closed at $30,000. A great price. It didn't meet the minimum-- but sometimes they accept a lower offer. It will be interesting to see if the bank accepts that offer. Good learning experience.
Thursday we went to Silver Dollar City with another couple from the church. We watched two plays-- A Christmas Carol and It's a wonderful Life. We enjoyed the lights and the Christmas parade of lights.
