I've got a lot to say, but no time to say it.

We officially have owned the house in Michigan for a week now and Saturday we headed up there to do some work and see how the guys we have helping us rehab the place were coming along. As far as the particulars of the day, I'll delve into those further in a bit, but I didn't realize how much I would like the place once we owned it.

Beforehand I had my reservations, especially since I have lived in a rural setting and am not as overtaken by romantic notions of country life as others may be, but once we started to actually work on the place it grew on me quickly.

The only thing that freaks me out? Well, two things? One, I'm convinced there are ghosts. No place is that old without gaining a little spookiness. The other is just how dark and quiet the area gets at night. Zero light. And there's very little ambient sound, and almost none of that sound is man-made.

I suppose that make it the perfect "get away from it all" home, though, doesn't it?
