We're looking for our place in East Texas

Welcome to our blog. We are two 'mature' ladies who are looking for our country place in East Texas. We have lived 'country' before we had a small farm in Kentucky and sold it last year to move to Texas.

We have some requirements for 'our' place; five or more acres, three bedrooms, 1200 or more square feet, rural location, back from the road, neighbors living the country life style. The location should be within easy driving distance of a hospital and shopping. I like a home with a fireplace and lots of windows, a big kitchen with lots of storage. It would be nice if the 'place' had a barn and out building with good fencing in the fields so we could have livestock like goats, horses and other animals. We are animal lovers and have two dogs and two cats with us in the RV we live in now.

I have started searching the Internet for a place and have contacted a real estate agent to look at two properties. I have an appointment with him tomorrow. I just got a call that one of the properties has received an offer; we are going to visit it anyway just in case the deal falls through.

So the search has begun, we will find our little country spot it will take time and effort and there maybe some frustration, but our place is out there and we will find it.
