Looks like we won't live in Mixie after all...

Our land deal fell through - on a remarkably ridiculous point. According to our lawyer, and his, the seller should have put a certain clause in the deed, but refused to do so, and would not explain himself. He put an ultimatum to us, we called it. We're looking for another piece of land.

We may be nice Minnesotans, but we're not being backed into anything that looks like a trap.

As a sulking/get our mind off it, our boss offered for us all to go to Jackson yesterday, and get some supplies for the office (as well as pulp sci-fi mags for Mr.J and yarn and books for me - almost like Christmas, actually) so, we feel a little better.

I'll leave you with a happy picture of Squint.

I'm sorry to hear about the deal falling through, but I'm glad to hear that you stood up for yourselves and avoided any traps...

Aww, he's adorable!

Sorry about the transaction not going through. Hopefully something better will come along.

I'm so sorry about the land but I'm sure there's something better out there for you!

Sorry about the deal, but anything that sounds hinky, probably is hinky. You're probably better off.

Bummer about the deal falling through but honestly? It just sounds odd that he wouldn't put in the clause or explain it. Or what Jennifer said.

Darling pic of Squint!

Disappointing, but if it didn't feel right, you made the right choice.
