Seems like all your readers have diverse opinions as well - so I can imagine the diversity that was swarming in your head. I know what you're feeling....We sort of "fell in love" with this house before we bought it - heck, it was the only non-prefab or tear-down-start-over home in our price range back then, plus it was in the country which was an absolute must. Only when we started replacing things (doors, windows, toilets, etc.), did we realize that absolutely nothing was done to code or to standard. I have spent 4 days looking for a replacement toilet and have become an expert in toilet specs, only to realize that the only one that will fit is an airplane privy. :o I get so frustrated, and my dear hubby is quick to remind me that "I" wanted this place. Yet then I think of moving, and I think of the things that I would, in fact, miss and I'm in a quandary much like yours. See, we are twins from different mothers. Hang in there sweetie - I say, if you can grow astilbes and yarrow like that there, it's a keeper - two of my favorite plants that I can't grow for squat here!

You do not HAVE to accept an offer if one is made unless you are completely happy with it. So list it and just see what happens.LoriUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265236304799855177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-55958908432904685492012-05-25T11:04:50.485-04:002012-05-25T11:04:50.485-04:00Oh my dear Shirlee what can I say to you, I have b...Oh my dear Shirlee what can I say to you, I have been there many many times in my life.<br />If you are truly not happy there I would move ,some thing tells me though you love your house. It is a worry at the moment selling , I need to sell Dads house but I now have a good couple renting so will stay with that until the prices pick up.<br />What about renting your house and you rent another one then in a few years you may change your mind. just a thought. I have never been lucky selling and buying there are allot of twisted people out there Maybe time for a holiday and some time to think about it all, but don't let those people get you down they have to live with them selves and I am a strong believer that what comes around go's around.<br />Maybe it's not the house but those people who are making you feel like this, forget them Shirlee it's not worth it , start enjoying life , and when you see them again smile at them so they know they did not get the better of you.<br />Your flowers look wonderful great photos .butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083894897044273749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-42599950215806233462012-05-25T10:40:52.799-04:002012-05-25T10:40:52.799-04:00Hi Shirlee,

Also, while it may not be a great time to sell right now it's certainly a good time to buy since many properties will also be undervalued. It's all about weighing the pros and cons, it's impossible to predict the market so you might as well go with the flow... try not to sweat it - I know this is WAY easier said then do.<br /><br />I love the photo's you have shared today. I think I heard once that if you plant hydrangeas too deep then the plant doesn't produce as well. Just a thought to consider.<br /><br />Good luck with everything!!!<br /><br />MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985600535017248188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-46634297475130681982012-05-25T08:12:32.422-04:002012-05-25T08:12:32.422-04:00Hey Shirlee!

It is sometimes such a comfort.<br /> I hope that you find peace in what ever decision you make regarding your house. Rich and I had a very bad experience purchasing our home too. This was not a move that I wanted but there are benefits to it. I do love the way the house is situated and the privacy we have. I do have to force myself to "live" in this town. To take advantage of programs, not get frustrated over the lack of services or shopping. I have always worked in another city and it is easy to "live" and participate there instead. I do want to commit vehicular homicide frequently when I see our neighbor that we bought this place from. Will you come bail me out?<br />The gardens look lovely.<br />I hope that you have a peaceful weekend.<br />Hugs!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01551177344589162442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-73293147305107284582012-05-24T23:24:15.164-04:002012-05-24T23:24:15.164-04:00I often say to The Lord "speak-up, louder ple...I often say to The Lord "speak-up, louder please, I can't hear you" or "Lord, you know me make it plain as day" or "It'll take a brick to get me to see what you want me to do you know". <br /><br />The blooms are beautiful! I can't wait to get up to The Stone House and see what I have blooming up there right now!<br /><br />Maybe a lock box for the pruners:)?<br /><br />KendraKendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17479913337592836649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-56206940303636358452012-05-24T11:55:57.454-04:002012-05-24T11:55:57.454-04:00AAAAHHHHHH!

You know what is sticking with me from what you wrote? You are basically happy with your health care. I was surprised by this, with the eyes, lyme disease, teeth and all. Well, try to have a great day and get rid of the goodies in the house already!;)Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601483236926246196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-74094587947927633452012-05-24T10:12:00.507-04:002012-05-24T10:12:00.507-04:00I feel for you Shirlee.

We all hesitate to make changes and the work involved, but are some times happier for it in the end. After reading about "neighbors" on various blogs, I think privacy, location, and security are more important than the materials used to shelter us. Very tough decision, one we may make in the future....or not...but might.marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252451302831115791noreply@blogger.com
