Disorganized Chaos

Contribution by Saul Martin

For her sixtieth birthday, my mom and a few of her adorable friends traveled to Washington state to hike the trails in Mount Rainer National Park. I characterize them as “adorable” because that seemed to be the title all the younger hikers gave them as this crazy group of soon-to-be seniors tackled ten mile hikes in some of our country’s most beautiful terrain. They stayed in Yakima a few nights and travelled north to see what else the area had to offer. Now my grandmother, who will be eighty at the end of the year, will be going with another group of true seniors. I don’t believe they will be hiking the trails like mom and the “Adorables”, but I know they will love riding through them on their tour busses. Grandma has already checked www.direc4u.com to see if all her shows will be offered along the trail, and sure enough her regularly scheduled programming will be just as it is at home. What a difference a generation makes! Either way, both young ladies will experience the mountain country in style.

The other day, I was looking at an auction, and they had land in Alabama. I decided to try to find out if there were any delinquent taxes due on the property. Instead, I discovered that the state will sell their land for the amount of back taxes due…. pretty decent prices. I have a friend who lives on the northern border, and I thought it might be enjoyable to have a place out there.

I spend a lot of time watching shows that have to do with homes and renovations because I so enjoy renovating and redoing my own home. Property Brothers is no different. The show is about two brothers who are great at seeing the potential in a possibly run down looking home and turning it in to a gorgeous property. Usually they will take a couple or person who is looking to purchase a house to a property that has absolutely everything they want in a home. The couple will of course fall completely in love with the home and then the brothers will drop the price tag on the couple which of course shatters all their hopes and dreams about owning the perfect home. They do all this to show people that usually what they want is above their price point unless they are willing to put in a little work to make a less than desirable house into the home of their dreams.
