I could refinance the house and keep it, but I really don't want to do that. This place was all about him and our retirement together. I was raised in town, and would feel much more comfortable with neighbors instead of coyotes and bears. I won't get in any hurry, though. The market sucks, and I need to make as much as possible on the sale of the place to buy myself a new place 'all my very own'. I'm in love with a 110 yo Victorian in town that has been completely redone. All original wood, decorative fireplace, huge mantal, stairway, etc. The only drawback? 110 years ago, no one had invented the heat pump. No heat. No air. Prospectus? 12-15,000 dollars. Plus there's the whole total lack of insulation thing.

SIGH. But it is beautiful.
