Shortly after we moved in, the house next door to the south went up for sale. (And has since been sold and moved into)

Now the house next door to the north is up for sale.

Honestly, we haven't had the chance to do anything to scare anyone away yet!

Wish we had some friends looking for a nice 3 bd, 2 ba house, 1504 sq ft. Pity they haven't pictures up. Hey, they have storm doors.

Beats my parent's situation. They have neightbors on all three sides of their backyard who decided to out up fences. Okay, admittedly this was over a fifteen year period, but it does make you wonder why they want to fence out two senior citizens who don't even keep a dog.

I suspect the people here before us were hoping for a big dose of rural splendor and now that they're building on the rest of the lots and putting the Walmart in they're going to move farther away from the city. And someone at Walmart corporate headquarters will note where they move to and put a pin on the map labeled "2009".

Rural Splendor

Fort Worth has several ranches within city limits. Surprisingly to me, there are small ranches even within the city limits of Dallas. Now, rural ...

West of Dallas, west of Fort Worth, on I-20 past Weatherford, southwest past Brock, past the point the proverbial blacktop gives way to gravel and the gravel to dirt and dirt road peters out to a dead end, my in-laws enjoy some rural splendor.

Hot running water, flush toilets, microwave oven, fridge, freezer, telephone, satellite TV, daily mail delivery and once a week trash collection. About the only concession to "rural" backwardness is a dial-up internet connection and reliance on a septic tank.

I gotta tell ya', being a hick from the sticks is a lot harder than it used to be.

I don't know that I'd cope. Then again, I will for the next month.
