Huh. It's really weird for me to picture, because I grew up on what I alternately remember as 20 or 40 acres of land, and it didn't seem to be huge. Although it probably was, and was a wonderful place to grow up. It had a big yard, a sizable pond, a large garden plot, fruit trees, a fenced in horse corral and barn, and then acres and acres of forested land with mowed paths. A dream of a place to grow up. I could wander out back by the stream and eat blackberries and get lost, and still be within range of my mom's voice for lunch.
Is it any wonder that nothing else stacks up? But I might find some pretty forested land with mesas and canyon views or mountain views. If I went up to Page, I could even get water.
So anyway, in my head, I started looking at about 10 acres or so, but that's probably way too much for me to maintain, so 1-2 acres is probably enough for me.
And she offered to have us out, so I need to email her back, because that would probably be great for us to go look at it.
I'm glad the e-mail made it. I had to check because my mom has many wonderful talents, but computers have never really been one of them. BTW, the house is definitely worht seeing. The guy who built it is more of an artist than a builder (or he's both, I guess) and he put tons of really special touches on the doors, counters, ceiling, etc.
Thanks everyone. Dcp, I'm going to try the wrist thingies. I appreciate the suggestion.
Off to crawl into bed.

Allows cats; 2 bedrooms; penisula area; up to $1700 I guess, but less is much better.
Last one, dark and gorgeous, and newly remodeled
Okay, that is gorgeous. I want a place like that.
You're welcome, Gus.
Night, Kristin!
That last one I found is perfect, isn't it, ita? Isn't it? Isn't it?

It sounds fantastic, and it's really lovely from the photo. Yeah, those touches are part of the fun of building strawbale. I'm all excited, because I want to put in a little curved seating nook, which would be on the outside during the first phase, and in my library during the second. 'Cause I can! And built-ins for the headboard, bookshelves, breakfast nook, studio. Whoo!
The designing dream phase is the most fun, huh, before I start having to deal with realities like economics and physics.
eta: Hee, crosspost. Nonian's folks' place is beautiful. But so is the apartment linked! Though I am not ita, so my validation means nothing.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I accept all validation.
That bugged me a bit, too, Aimee, but I was willing to let it go because they painted it pink.

Okay, sure, I SHOULD be focusing on packing, and where I want to live, and how the hell I am going to get the cats up north, but instead, I'm not.
Before I head out of LA, I need to:
Go to Roscoe's
Go to the Hump
Go to the Getty
Go to Peterson's Car Musuem
Go to San Diego Wild Animal park
Go horseback riding in the Hollywood hills
Go to Vegas
Have another big dinner at Victorio's for everyone
Go to the Pasadena flea market
Go to the Tequila bar
Who wants to go where? What else do I need to do?
