Thanks so much to the many who wrote and who surfed in to read the tale of nutsoidness about our move! The great news, of course, is that we will be moving to a house we LOVE, with good karma, in a town called Hope. Several of you asked for pictures. I feel a tad awkward about sharing pictures of the house and its insides now (will when it is ours!), but I can share some of the outside and view. Yesterday a big storm blew (and boy did it BLOW) through. This was our current front yard as we left the house to trek out to Hope, about 10 minutes west of where we are now:
At home in Camden-still snowing furiously on Weds. afternoon
On Tuesday we had gone out to the Hope house for the septic inspection. It was a glorious winter’s day in Maine, so I took these photos looking toward Freedom and Liberty (ya gotta love a state with town names like these!) and uphill of the house, which is surrounded by 11 acres!

and looking uphill from the top of the drive:
Looking uphill from the driveway into the winter sun. The path in the snow leads to the porch off the kitchen..you can see the tip of the roof on the right edge of the photo.
and another of the “main” views:
My shadow is the one to the left; I think our realtor Mary and hubby Paul are on the right. What BLUE skies!
Yesterday during the storm, our house inspector, Peter T., took this photo which he shared with me. It is of the front of the house, and as you can tell it was windy with snow going sideways! The lights on the right are in the living room. The dining and kitchen are to the left and there is another covered porch off the kitchen on the driveway side of the house.

Just imagine....this will be OUR view soon! Taken from inside the living room.
And dusk was falling as we made our way home to Camden at about 4:20 p.m. Took this from a moving, bouncing car…good camera!
