Relative Something

Now that Cyndie is home, and because we have actually received an offer on our house, our realtor is finally allowing us to look at potential horse properties. We spent a lot of hours yesterday afternoon and evening, driving and exploring. We saw 4 very different possibilities. All of them had something good about them, but none of them are right for us.

At the property that was most enticing for me, we came around a corner of a building and found two bald eagles perched in the branches of a great big dead tree. It was very inspiring. This place had about 3-times more in the way of out-buildings than we could imagine being able to use. Cyndie says it will be nice if we can have some covered or indoor arena space to work with horses. This property had a HUGE indoor arena. Unfortunately, it had so many structures, they made the area near the house feel too closed in. I said, “We could knock some of it down.” But there was also a bit too many bodies of stagnant water bordering, or overlapping, the lot. The location was also too far from the airport. Access to the airport is still a priority, both for Cyndie traveling to

Today, I will be forced out of working at the day-job in order to drive to Wisconsin to finally get inside the buildings and walk on the property that remains our favorite out of all the listings that have been sent our way throughout the summer. I look forward to seeing how it compares to the places we toured yesterday.

Also, since we will already be in Wisconsin, our plan is to continue on after that, and head to the lake home paradise in Hayward for the weekend. Cyndie has already received an invitation to go riding with her niece up there this weekend.
