Hmmm, maybe I should rob a bank?

Great Grandpa's house is on the market. The one he and his sons (grandpa and great uncles) built here in our little town. It's on the river, has its own dock, a really nice shop building and an addition by a previous owner, a little apartment off the laundry room. My mother and I went to the estate sale of the latest owner and I thought then that it would be nice to buy it and live there, but I didn't know then that their heirs were going to sell. The best part about it is that it's probably haunted! Great Grandpa died of sudden heart failure inside the house. The flat it sits on is already pretty "active" so it could easily have permanent residents of the non-corporeal sort. (Moooo! sorry, inside joke) It would just be nice to have more room. A space for a craft table and maybe a reading chair. . . .

It's a pipe dream though. Even pooling our resources it's way beyond our means and since Dad didn't win a million dollars at the casino on his birthday . . .

They might have trouble selling it anyway because of the housing slump. You might be able to work out a deal.

At least June was a benign cow!
