Hi, Phyllis;
Since writing this, we have heard back and made a counter offer -- we should have an answer by Sunday.

ps; I live in Portland, OR and Salem, OR --- do you like the Pacific Northwest?

reply by Phyllis Stewart on 18-Nov-2017

Oh, THAT Salem. I had you in Salem, MA, where they hold the witch trials! Oops... I meant HELD the trials.

I love the mountains, but not the rain.

Got my fingers crossed for you to get the house. :)

I'm praying for you! There is little else more important than a good place to live where you can feel comfortable and at ease.

I love the poem. You can feel your longing in the words.
It is pleasantly presented, and quite an entry into the contest.

Best of luck,
Rhonda

How fortunate that writer can afford to buy a house, because so many people can only barely afford to live in a one bedroom apartment with 6 family member. This house is beautiful and looks like perfect home. lol liberty justice

(I can only afford a house because of my hubby still working, and my hard work for so many years.)

House hunting is hard because there is no perfect abode and one will always need to do some tinkering. Well done, and best of luck in your search.

Hi Patty, it looks like a beautiful place! Hope it works out. You're right, apartment living is no fun at all. Excellent syllable count on each line.

The process of waiting for a home is touch. Your words reflect your emotions and the process of waiting. Congrats on your new home.
