Meet the Radmakers

Last week, Margaret and Harold Radmaker (the sole owners of the house we're buying) had us over to their place to see whether we were interested in any of their furniture. As it turned out, we were not. However, it was a perfect chance to see our new house again and hear all of Margaret's stories. She and Harold have raised all their kids there her daughter still lives near by. Margaret showed us all the different places her grandkids would hide. Totally fun!

While I had some ideas on different 'home projects' that I think would be fun, Paula and I didn't feel comfortable discussing all of that during our visit and taking lots of photos of the interior. However, our realtor Jim, was nice enough to grab some great photos of the front and back yards. Here's a little taster of what we're getting ourselves into. You'll also get to see some of Margaret's 100+ bird houses. She knows when, who, and how she got each one.

Apparently, Margeret and Harold planted a pear tree (no jokes, please), a bing cherry tree, and another variety of cherry (some kind of European cultivar). Not to mention all the other shrubs that we're going to have fun maintaing...
