The golf course I played at TV as compared to what I'm use to here works for my game.

On our courses I will end up in the woods on 2 or 3 holes whereas on Cane Garden it was pretty much wide open and I found I had only short irons left to most greens. The day before I played the executive Heron and shot 33, so that was a good tune-up for irons.

Right now I'm getting ready for a community yard sale tomorrow, Saturday. Also, I had good luck in that the buyers want to buy most of my furniture but I still have a lot of other stuff to sell.

I found a really nice resale yesterday online. A 2 BR 2 BA rancher, built in 2005 with volume ceilings and fully furnished, which I don't need but it's very nice furniture. The home looked immaculate and was only $159K. The only downside I could see was it was in the Village of Tall Trees near the High School. The backyard has a wall, which is good privacy, but it's against businesses on the southside of 466 and only a couple of blocks from the football field. Does anyone think this location is more problem than it's worth?
We have friends who own a ranch home in Tall Trees and we have been very envious of their location. They have all kinds of shopping and restaurants within a mile or two. There are numerous banks in that area, not to mention a Super Wal-mart just up the street and several gas stations nearby. As far as I know the football field has never been an issue. If I was looking for a resale ranch I would most likely look in Tall Trees or Summerhill. As far as I am concerned that location has a ton more positives than it has negatives (I can't think of one!)
