freedom house

i posted last weekend that we made an offer on a house for our halfway house, did not get it. apparently it is different when you place a bid for a bank owned property - the offer accepted was actually above the list price. crazy.
so we've continued looking around various areas around town over the last week and weekend. all i can say is deed restrictions, deed restrictions, deed restrictions!
BUT, i may have some news over the next several days about something else we have in the works! so again fear of the unknown...... leads me to faith in god. i truly believe he, she, it - whatever - has my back. mike thinks the worst thing that can happen is that we don't try, i think he's right.
