Happy Labor Day!



Today was a holiday, so I decided to go for a drive and enjoy the beautiful weather. My first ten days here it seemed like it would never stop raining and it was COLD, but since then it's been sunny and about 68 degrees - just perfect.


I drove out to Downham Market and met with a realtor who has scheduled me for a meeting with a mortgage broker later this week. Housing is so comparatively expensive here, so it's daunting to take the big leap; it will be nice to hear from the broker how crazy I am to think I can do this. I've started to narrow my search down to the "west side" - the Cambridge side of this area. While it would be wonderful to live in a city like Cambridge, I'm not sure I'm up for the 50 minute drive twice a day... so I am looking at some smaller villages that are just off the main road.


After leaving the realtor, I drove through Denver (saw the windmill that's now a working flour mill) and down the banks toward Ten Mile Bank. The road is narrow but there wasn't a lot of traffic... though there were loads of boats out!
