Friday afternoon Travalon and I had lunch at the Great Dane,
then we went to the credit union to talk to a loan guy. The meeting seemed to
go well, but the guy needs more information, so we don’t know yet about getting
the loan for the house. In the late afternoon my band had a gig, and Travalon
came along and listened. He liked our klezmer music best. I thought it was a
free gig, but we got paid $10 apiece… and then we each got $20 more! Not bad
for a free gig! Getting paid for making music never gets old! So after Travalon and I went to the East Side Club for fish fry
(only we got baked haddock since we gave up fried foods for Lent), I bought him
a drink at Le Tigre Lounge. It was crazy busy in there!
Travalon stayed over at Rich’s house, and the next morning
we got some coffee before meeting our realtor to look at more houses. The first
one was out of our price range, and we weren’t that impressed with it anyway,
but Kathbert came along with Richard Bonomo, and she’s keeping it on her “maybe”
list. The second one was kind of small and was just a few blocks from Toque
McToque’s house, in a lovely neighborhood in the Arboretum. The third one
was, in a word, perfect. It had a two-car garage, man cave possibilities in the
basement (as well as a bar with colorful lights), a sunny room for plants, two
bathrooms, and FOUR bedrooms, plus a huge yard. We almost didn’t want to look
at the fourth property after that, but it was a very sunny condo with a cool
basement, so we aren’t taking that off the list either. Travalon and I
discussed our options over a late lunch at Sofra, then I talked to Richard
Bonomo and Kathbert, and they wanted to see the perfect house. So Sunday after
Mass, brunch, and doing my taxes, I went with them and Luxuli to see the house
again. They declared it was a good house with no outstanding issues. (Rich even
looked in the attic.) Some other people were also looking at it at the same
time, so hopefully we hear about our loan soon, before someone else puts an
offer on it.

We need pictures! Four bedrooms seems like a lot of house even with potential kids, unless you give the bunny, the cat and the dog individual rooms and the plants can have their own too
One "bedroom" is a walk-through so we might use that as an office.
