We like the side of
Clarksville that we currently reside and would like to stay somewhere in the
general area. We feel this part of Clarksville suits our needs and is close to
the activities we like to do.
I already have a dislike for neighborhoods that yards back
up against each other, after only 5 months of having a backyard that looks out
onto trees, valley and river. I get anxiety of thinking of having some yard
rats and other people living directly behind me. I have definitely gone back to my roots of
country living.
We recently placed a bid on a foreclosure, which we are one
of 10 bidding for it. The house lay out
is perfect for our needs. Dad would have his own living space, I would have my
own office space and Paul could even have a space for his hobby projects. It
has a garage big enough to put four cars in and a large fenced in back yard.
Yet, the only thing I can think about is the 3 kids and 3 large dogs living
next door, and no trees out back; I can see the whole neighborhood’s back
yards. Karen, our realtor, said “Larry,
the kids grow up and move out, the dogs grow old and die”. My response “what
the hell do I do till that happens?” I see a long summer of planting trees if
we by chance are the lucky ones on this house.
If not I won’t be
that disappointed for Clarksville has lots of neighborhoods that still back up
to natural forested areas. I watch too
much HGTV, because I immediately look for options to how the house is laid out
and what can I do with the yard. My must have list is not that large, separate
office space, garage, and a back yard that has no neighbors. Yes, I would be happy to be in the hills with
my closest neighbor being on the other side of the hill or valley… for now the Hunt goes on...
Till next
week. LB
