What did you check out in someone else's house.

And herein lies the tale... Diane bought the house about 10 years ago as her place of residence. Around 5 years ago, we both decided to quit smoking and we met online in a suppport-group dedicated to helping people quit. We fell in love, I emigrated from Canada to California, we got married, and now we're just looking for a place with trees and green because I was homesick for them. So, we're moving to the Sierra foothills. Isn't that wonderful ?

Yes. All of it, including that you stopped smoking. I am an avid gardener and I can't imagine living somewhere without trees. I spent so many years living in city apartments where there was no place to garden and pets weren't allowed. Moving into a house and getting pets was a life changing decision.

You need to tell them from **where** in Canada you moved, and to **where** in California you moved for them to appreciate the whole story :-) I was born in the town you're living in now, and I love it, but a lotta folks would fully realize what a keeper is Diane if they knew the REST of the story....

By the way, if you want a nose to determine the odor-worthiness of your place, you can always use mine. I offered to come up there a week or so ago, but didn't hear back from Her Ladyship

I'd buy your house in a heartbeat if it were a little closer to work -- but I really like my bike commute :-)

Tammy, who knows Eds and Diane from the aforementioned smoking cessation newsgroup

I didn't get the reply. You are *always* welcome. Check your e-mail in about 5 minutes. Or sooner. :-)

I agree that smell is a big thing, we bought our house in spite of a bad dog smell, but I remember one thing was seeing a floor fan in a den ( we live in a hot climate) which made me think the ac wasn't up to par. Another was a homeowner had a sewing pattern laid out on her bed. At that time I sewed too and this made me think there was not enough room to have a good place to sew. So I guess it would be making the home look accommodating for day to day living.
