5801 Eagle Drive for sale

[HeartofTexas]

There is a Walmart in Franklin... don't know about our "new town" Newsom yet.

 

[Mama-cita]

It's already been bought and sold several times. Somebody will buy it again I suppose

How many times has it been bought and sold? Do previous owners talk about their experiences there? If 100 people donate 20 bucks we can buy it and level it. Then, a memorial gardens or park could be placed there for the boys. Anyone? Or am I just crazy (well I am so don't answer that!)

 

[Mama-cita]

Okay, 1000 people would have to give 20 bucks, not 100. Math was never one of my strong points. That's why Papa-Cito controls the checkbook!
OOOPS!!!!!!!!

 

[HeartofTexas]

Mama-Cita, I'm not sure if you're crazy or not, but your math skills are a teensy bit rusty! If 100 people donated 20 bucks each, we'd have a grand total of $2,000! I think what you mean is if 1,000 people donated $200 each!

 

[HeartofTexas]

You're getting closer! 1,000 people and 20 dollars equals $20,000!

 

[Mama-cita]

And that is why I am not allowed near the check book, Heart!

J2, we may need to just move over from Franklin a town or two to this new house I've found for us... and I can afford this one! It has 5 bedrooms, but surely we could all squeeze into that one just fine! And when Beesy is being a NICE girl, we can invite her over to have iced tea on our lovely new wrap-around porch. Oh, and all of the pets can run on our 2+ acres of land. Still no a/c in this house either. Bummers.

Beesy's feelings hurt.

What fun it'd be to sip iced tea and sleuth all day. There's a great park right down the street from me, which means it's down the street from your house too. Newsomes is in the boonies. I mean waaaaaaaay boonies. It's about 30 miles from Franklin and I think there's only one street, maybe 2 LOL.
Franklin not only has a Wal-Mart, but a Super Center! We have a nice movie theater, bowling alley and even an Applebees! There was big excitement when that moved to town. Alas, no ice skating rink. There's a roller rink! Norfolk is about 50 miles away and they have a hockey team though.
But nevermind, you don't want to live near beesy now anyway. :snooty:

 

[beesy]

Exactly what I was wondering, J2. LOL! Perhaps "terrified" would be the word Beesy is looking for! Don't worry, Beesy, I have to sell my house before I can consider buying another one... so I'm sure that one will be gone before that would happen. That's amazing that all 3 of us have 9 year old boys. BTW, does your town have a Walmart??? I'm not sure I can live in a town without one... LOL!

A joking "worried" was the word I was looking for. Didn't realize one little word would ruin the entire thing. :doh:

what a gerat place...no ac huh?? looks like hubby will have to be a part of the package...now..roomie....is there a problem if i prefer a cold beer to your ice tea> guess we better get the little things worked out huh? LOLOLOL

There is a Walmart in Franklin... don't know about our "new town" Newsom yet.

we could ask Beesy about the new town, but she might fib....to keep us from coffe clatching with her on her front porch!

tell me where to send the check- I said before I even feel sorry for the house itself-

so we're still in?? I thought you were backing out of the deal! LOL

 

[HeartofTexas]

J2, you better stop before you send that check to MamaCita. She's having trouble computing exactly how much she needs! LOL!

I checked on Newsoms (this time I spelled it correctly) and the whole town only has less than 300 population, so J2, we're moving back to Franklin. I only chose alternative housing because I thought Beesy didn't want us. However, now that she's so graciously accepted my offer of iced tea on our porch, we're heading back to Franklin. I have visions of our 3 boys playing together at the park while we sip tea and gossip and talk about Darlie! I'm more of a tea person myself... gave up most liquor when I was younger... but don't have any lack of tolerance for those who do drink. 2-3 times a year I have a glass of wine... but that's about it these days.

Beesy, I really do LOVE Franklin! I want to move there so bad. It has everything I'm looking for in a town (including Walmart!). I noticed you were pretty hot there today, too... we hit a mere 99 degrees here today. Sure doesn't seem like Fall.

I thought I saw beesy saying she really wanted us there too- especially when she was saying what a out in the boondocks place newsoms was.... i think she still loves us!! LOL-- Franklin does look like a dream come true- but that house you showed in newsom was way toooooo cool too- man- 4000 sq feet- 2 + acres...and that porch.... man-------- if I was only 10 years younger and my kids didnt know any better!!!!!!! aand yea- i saw that adding mamciti was doing- but at least she fessed up that why was poppa kept the checkbook- i would still send a check to see the place torn down............

I wish I was a whole lot younger than I am right now, and I would put my house on the market in a nano-second. Instead I'm OLD and raising a young boy... and unfortunately I've built my whole life here in Texas. It will be a tough decision to uproot at this point. OTOH, if I don't do it now, I'll never do it, and I really hate that idea. It means accepting less than I wanted for myself. I also have years and years of friendships here in Texas, and I would have to walk away from that, too. I wish the house in Franklin that we like was a little cheaper. I didn't see anything else that I truly loved... and the ones that were in my price range weren't too exciting. Maybe something else will turn up.

That house in Newsoms was great, wasn't it! Apparently it's the crown jewel of Newsoms, too, because my research didn't show a whole heckuva lot going on in Newsoms. With less than 300 population, I'd hate to see what the school system looked like!

And I agree... Mamacita just isn't great at multiplying yet... but her heart is definitely in the right place.

Rowlett, Texas has an estimated population of 52,500 (in 2005). If we could collect FOUR DOLLARS from each resident, we would have enough $$$. Let's buy the house, that way, the "residents" own it. THen we all donate to make it a memorial park or gardens for the town that celebrates the life of Devon and Damon...
I am going to go work on some word problems. Gee, my kids aren't in school yet, but once they are, they sure better not come to me for MATH help!!!

You should follow your dreams Heart, no matter your age, unless you're 90!

That house was probably built on peanut or pig money. It is wonderful, isn't it? Franklin is filled with houses like "yours". Something else will come up. Remember the deal we got on our house? I did notice the one in Newsoms said something about being priced low enough to make improvements didn't it?
The school system is pretty nice because Newsoms is part of Southampton County and there are 2 nice schools there, neither one very near Newsoms though.

Don't you even wanna see it before you move? It's right around the corner from me. http://www.century21.com/buy/property_detail.aspx?teasers=property-detail-pic+Property+Detail+with+Pictures&tr_key=30700092&bSite=N

Gosh no, all you had to tell me was you had a front porch. That's all I want, a house with a screened in front porch and lots of trees in the yard. Oh I want a dog as well.

 

[HeartofTexas]

You're right, Beesy, that I should follow my dreams! It's just so much harder when you have a little boy who has lost everything and then you work for 3 years to build up a life for him, including a Big Brother (thru the Big Bros. program)... and he finally gets some stability and then, because your dream was to move back to Virginia, you have to uproot him. Not to mention the whole thing is a bit overwhelming to even contemplate. What I need is a man! Someone to help me make these decisions, someone to mentor my nephew, someone to help me move my belongings half-way across the country, etc. And no, I'm not 90 yet but there are days I feel that old! LOL!

I wonder if the improvements the Newsoms house is referring to might be air-conditioning? It certainly would be top choice for me!
