House Hunting

Yesterday George went looking for a house with Lulu. Lulu was married to Frank, Herbert's son. Sadly Frank died last December. George and I came to visit shortly after it happened. Lulu was very helpful with house hunting. In fact, she found a house that is as close to being perfect for us as we will find here.

Here is the front of the house.



It has three bedrooms (which is more than we were hoping for) and three bathrooms. Two include toilets! Its located near the center market, but is still far enough away to feel some privacy. The only downside of the place is that it doesn't have a fence. After we move in, we'll work on putting one up. The owner of the house has some repairs to do (mostly with the plumbing) before we move, but other than that the place looks great. There are four coconut palm trees, a mango tree and an orange tree in the front yard.

George is working with the owners to come up with a rental agreement. Hopefully we'll get that settled before we go and we'll have a house to come back to in May! Praise the Lord!

*** Funny Story - While George was house hunting, Alan and I walked to the market. Apparently while we were walking, a lizard ran in front of me and the timing was perfect (well not for the lizard) and as I took the next step, I smashed it's head. What was funny was that I had no idea - until Alan mentioned it later in the day. Thank goodness I didn't see it, I would have freaked out. It wasn't a tiny one either. It was 8 inches or so. I guess it was pretty nasty - there was blood and it was thrashing around. Ooops!
