New Home, New Hope


House on Eagle Court

There has been so much drama with selling our Pine Ridge house. It's been enough to drive us crazy!

First we tried to find another house to buy. Unfortunately everything was in disrepair, over-priced, or a moldy mess. Then we decided to rent. Joe looked at a house in White Haven, PA. It's about a half hour outside of Scranton, PA. We were thrilled to be getting out of Bushkill! Then the White Haven land lords started acting bizzaro and it made us very concerned about thier ability to be landlords. This weekend we looked at a house in Pocono Mountain Lake Estates (see the picture). Yes, it's in Bushkill. Yes, it's 5 minutes up the road. We're still trapped, but there is a silver lining...we don't own it! We don't have to worry about selling it in a couple years!

Right now, Joe is returning to college in Scranton. I'm still working in Newton. Staying in Bushkill keeps us centrally located. I know some people are thrilled about seeing our misery. What makes no sense to me is how those people can be happy to see us in the same area because they can visit us, yet they have made no attempts to visit in the last 2 years. Seems selfish, if you ask me.
