So long February....


and sayonara too.... so still working on that dream.. although it's changed a bit as of tonight... Since my last post we have won $46 playing the lottery, and we were watching a cheesy show on TLC tonight about lottery winners. Most of them had played for years and never won more that $2 or $3 before they hit the biggie.. so considering we've won $46 in about 3 weeks I think we might be on the fasttrack.. :-)

here's a pic of dreamhouse #2. 4 bedroom on 3.5 acres in Saugatuck Michigan, the cutest midwest lakeside getaway you could imagine. Ken wants to go Saugatuck way, open a B&B and he wants to open a candy store in downtown Saugatuck.. well the candy store sounds fun, not sure I want to make beds for strangers and I want horses so this place could be the answer..I'll keep you posted on our progress......

Arrrrrrgh!


and I don't mean in a piratey way... It's been 19 days since I've logged on.. February has not been all that pleasant of a month and I'm finding myself OBSESSED with a current dream... Having not worked now for approx 7 months, I am feeling a bit guilty at how hard Ken works and I think thats part of whats fueling this dream. I want US to retire. Financially not feasible at this time so it stands as a dream. It doesn't help that I have found our PERFECT retirement home. It fills all the necessary criteria, Style of home : check, land: (15 acres) check, location: check (in the country, close to town, Bloomington Indiana,population 30,000, 50 miles from Big City, Indianapolis), and dammit I love it, Ken does too at least what we are able to see of it in pictures.. Our style of Urban Lodge fits this home perfectly, it has room for horses, today I'm focusing on Clydesdale rescue, yesterday it was Thoroughbred rescue, tomorrow it may be shetland ponies.. but it's my dream... The property has an old barn in addition to the house, covered swimming pool, and horse barn and I'm thinking it would be a perfect guest house? so everyone cross your fingers.. It's going to take a lotto win at this point.. but hey! someone has to win...
