Before I go, I would just like to add that it is forecast to snow the day AFTER I leave! Woohooo! I missed the whole thing (well, I guess I had better not count my chickens before they hatch). The weather has been very good to me this winter, and everyone in town is feeling good about the temprature. Today was the first day it rained this winter, and with the snow coming... well those predictions I was making about an ugly sidewalk situation shaping up seem unfortunately to be coming true. Many of them are not complete and I just don't think they will be able to get much done till the spring.

The real news however, is that I seem to be the happy owner of a dacha! Alright, for those who don't live here, a dacha is a summer house/cottage. Many locals have one, and an offer me, Zabel and Lena made on a cute little place up north was accepted, so barring any major kinks, I will finally have a place in one of my favorite spots in the country... ahhhh....

A cool new thing I am testing out on my site is a real estate/property listing section, which looks really great. I have added one listing, and people can add their own as well. You can list property anywhere in the world, but the focus is Armenia of course. Property of any kind for sale or rent.
