Grandson Ben was helping me move statuary out of the woods, when the call came in from Emily - our offer on a house in Glenwood was accepted! In just over six-weeks - we've sold our Homestead & purchased our first home in Iowa! It took a lot of searching on Zillow & several phone calls to
different realtors. We feel lucky to have found Emily - at Jim Hughes Realty. Ready, willing & able to help us - she offered to take
video of both the inside & out- so we could get a
good idea of what we're purchasing long-distance.
We've been so used to total privacy, living in town will be a real change for us. To find a place with a private back yard, yet within walking distance of town was a real bonus. Housing is at somewhat of a premium - with Glenwood's close proximity to Omaha. We're happy to have found a newer manufactured, with a lot of square footage, new roof & block foundation. The property is the best part - large - private & adjacent to a creek.
We'll be boarding Farah for the first time. Even though she adjusted well to being an only horse, I think it will be good for her to be on a private farm. It's just a few miles from us & she'll have other horses to socialize with. Our yard is big enough - she'll be able to come visit & help with mowing :-)
Now, we're busy making plans for the road-trip. Butch & our son-in-law David will drive the U-Haul out a couple weeks in advance & put our things in storage. The two of them will fly home. Once we're closed on both the Homestead & our Home Place - by mid-October we'll be on the road! The truck with camper & Bronco pulling the horse trailer with Farah! Exciting times!

We are going to miss you both.
