We've been to the lake house a lot more than I would have thought thus far in 2021. Of course, part of that was because of snowmageddon last month. Now it's because we're looking for a property to buy so we can build our dream retirement home. Just two short years ago, this process would undoubtedly have been a lot quicker, as well as waaaaay less painful on the pocketbook. Some sellers have lost their minds with the crazy overinflated prices they're asking for their properties. Or maybe it's their realtors, just trying to see how much folks are willing to pay to own a piece of paradise on the water. At this point, we're taking a wait and pounce approach to real estate, biding our time until the *perfect* place goes on the market and we can snatch it up.
Last night, the full moon reflecting off the water was really pretty. The fishing must be improving because Saturday afternoon we watched our neighbor reel in a good-sized catfish. The looky-lou traffic is starting to pick up as we head into warmer spring weather, too. I counted at least five boats or jet skis pass by our back porch after we had returned from looking at a piece of property and then eating a late lunch at our new favorite hole-in-the-wall cafe in Kingsland. We enjoy waving at the boaters and saying hello. That's something I'm looking for at our next place - people watching from a porch swing on the dock.
