Waiting for the UrbanFarm....

It's been 14 months now since we first saw the house on 5 acres that we knew was "The One". Granted, the house was only 18 years old, although it looked 50. But the bones were good. We knew that we could scrap the undesirable layers of outdated purplish brown and dull beige paint along with the smells of too many cats & 2 big dogs away.

That was 14 months ago, 2 closing dates scheduled and now past, numerous drive-byes (it's vacant), and countless emails to Realtors, a Short Sale specialist (trust me, there is "nothing" short about a "Short Sale" except patience) and a grumpy attorney.

I can't even begin to go into detail regarding all the obstacles because I would hate to cry all over my new mac keyboard. I can say that we do have all the colors, flooring, fruit trees, acre of blueberries, vegetables & flowers all picked out and places to put everything planned. But then we are in a perpetual "holding pattern"-literally. In a past life I used to teach (mostly) foreigners how to fly airplanes, so I am painfully familiar with holding patterns and the lack of control one feels while in one-which is even more painful for those of us that are "control freaks", but deny it publicly. Bottom line, we are at the mercy of "The Bankers" (aka, Lien Holders). There is no logical way to understand their thinking. We gave up on that 9 months ago.

So the UrbanFarm family is not so patiently waiting for our future "UrbanFarm". It's going to be perfect because we have faith and hope and are really good at "holding patterns", even if it's in the air!
