The owners of the home I will close on soon walked the property line with me this morning. I was delighted to meet them. They are a 30ish hetero couple, very nice.
Also, there is the most butchish woman who lives next door. She is 1 year younger than me, retired policewoman. She shook my hand so hard, thought she might crush the bones in it. Heh Heh! I believe she will be a funny character to get to know. All the homes include several acres. I cannot see neighbors on either side ... or the back either ... which is precisely what I wanted ... anyway, I did not have pen or paper but I told her I wanted to give her my cell phone number and asked if she minded giving me hers. I told her not to worry, I would not bother her and I was not at all a nosey busybody but I felt it would be good in an emergency situation since this area is so far off the beaten path. She said, "sure, we'll get together later."
Maybe I have a new butch buddy!
