Got an extra $50,000 cashier’s check lying around for an opening bid?

Check out what we fondly call the Million Dollar house - which is up for auction this Thursday. You need that spare 50K just to be allowed to bid.

We used to live at the fish processor just beyond where this house was built. Then we moved “into town” into a modest “farm home” house with 3 bedrooms and one bath. We still live there – don’t plan to move up or out. All we need is a place to sit and a place to eat and a place to sleep and we have all that. We are blessed.

My mansion will come when I go Home. And, I will be happy with whatever the Lord sees fit to bless me. I’m looking forward to that homegoing and hope you are as well.

Still – it’s fun to watch how others live, huh?

btw – we know the man who built this house. I have never been able to imagine him living in it – maybe his wife, but not him. He’s a rough, tough, wizened old fisherman who wears Carharts and Extra Toughs and a polyester billed cap that always – ALWAYS – sits atop his head askew.

With real estate being what it is, I have to wonder what is fueling this sale. I am trying to figure out a way to leave work half an hour early Thursday in order to wander over for the auction. Not sure I’ll be able to manage it.
