An Update on My Search for a Home

Shirley A Mandel
News flash! I found a new home for me and Scamper. And do you know how hard it is to find a place where both you and your cat are welcome? I see God's hand all over this situation.

The home that I found is a log cabin in the woods. Sounds primative, but the little house in the woods is fully loaded. It has central heat and air, a full compliment of appliances including stove, refridgerator, and washer and dryer. The rent is rather steep but not more than a third of my income, and while I thought I'd have to do without TV to make the rent payments, the rent includes free cable TV. Is this the provision of God or what?

And the place is so quiet. It sits far off the main road, and there are no neighbors too close by. I feel like I'm going to be living On Walden Pond. Perhaps I'll write the sequel.

See ya soon on-line.

    Congratulations! I have 2 cats and I know how hard it is to find a place that allows pets. A home in the woods sounds wonderful and will delight your kitty with bird and wildlife watching.

    I am so happy for you I should be so lucky. If you are going to be living in the woods with no neighbors close get a gun and atleast a big dog, maybe two.
