Thinking about buying a house

My husband and I have been renting for about two years. Prior to that, we were homeowners. We really enjoy the neighborhood we live in, but the prices seem to be a little out of reach.

I have been doing some research online looking for new neighborhoods. Driving around during the day and night seems to be a good step. We live near the University of Arizona, in Tucson.

The campus is about a twenty minute walk from our house, not too bad. We would prefer to be in an area with just homes. Some of the bigger apartment complexes are mostly student housing, with fun parties to match! We are a little bit past that stage. My husband is a light sleeper, so that wouldn't go over to well.

Having grocery stores, restaurants, coffee houses, within walking or very short driving distance is part of what we are looking for. Himmel Park and the Pima County Library are close by, we probably go there at least once a week.

The expected first post.....

Well, since I have bits and pieces of myself out there, I have decided to try to keep them all in one place. More than likely, my friends will find out about this blog, before my family.

I found a how-to internet book at my Mom's house the other day. She turned 65 last year. She can access her bank account and email right now. I told her about You Tube, but she waits until I get there to show her the latest videos.

Why More Salsa Please? That is something that I probably eat on a daily basis. Living in the southwest, it is all over the place. Any family gathering will include salsa, and lots of it. If my Tia will allow me, I might post her famous recipe.

Thanks!
