Decision made
Roger
I know you know by now I have made a decision to sell this place and move.
I pro and conned all the ins and outs, worked on how it would work and decided financial woes would be worse staying here: the electricity bill was horrendous here with all the snow, the extra internet costs, two phone systems:cell and home land line, and the extra from living high up on the mountains.
I was hoping to win the lotto enough to pay this place off, and have some extra to keep on going until I was old and gray. I am going to miss the elk and deer going by my window. BUT I am not going to miss the loneliness with so few people to interact with, I won't miss the extra snow fall Except I will miss snowmobiling but than no one would take me anymore. I will the trees and landscape but I just can not see digging myself deeper in a hole staying here.
SO I am going to try and sell and move closer to Scott in Boise, Idaho. I have been looking at acreage with homes (homes are same size altho' I want smaller) and they are cheaper than what our place was assessed at and that assessment was just for refinancing with the bathroom undone etc. SO hoping I can get close to that and I will be financially ahead. There are more job opportunities in Boise compared to Yakima with less miles to travel to work. IF I could work more hours and longer than seasonal I could do it but again still spend more money here living.
I do not really want to move so am torn but I know I should, and I think a new perspective and new beginning will help me. BUT I will always miss out mt home and what our dreams here were. ITS saddens me I will never see Chinook Pass or live here again. We were so excited when we found this place. SO please ask GOD to help sell quickly and fairly so I can move on now that I have made this decision.
I still miss you and still can not believe you died. I hate thinking I am going to grow old alone.
I hope you, Jessie, Nicker, Nece, Moon, BRiar, and Paddy are having a good time along with your dad. Your Mom is suffering so much in the nursing home, please bring her home to you all...
I hope this is the right decision, financial it is....my heart is on the line....
But working at Squaw Rock is helping me get out...it was a fun place when we managed it, and it still is. So many memories.
