Real Estate: What $700k Will Buy

My Sis' is very happy. A couple of years back, her BFF had to move to a different state because of a job situation. Now bff/hubby/kids and pups have come back into the neighbourhood. They bought the lovely 3-bedroom home, below, within sight of my Sis' back deck.

My Sis' house is situated higher in elevation (better views); has 3-levels, 4 bedrooms, more interior square footage and has recent upgrades.

 So, is her home worth close to $1 million since her BFF's (smaller) house was purchased for $700k??  No. Not quite there yet, says she.

Here are a few shots of my Sis' pretty home:

House below is worth $2 Million

A reminder of what's lasting and important

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: 

except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Ps 127, KJV

Ultimate Frisbee Game: Fun with the Young 'uns or Hurray for Large Families!

While we were at the Dog-tober Fest, this is what our older children were up to.  First is a picture from the Chapel.  The rest of the pics show them spending time with  Marie and her family, plus their guests.  I've watched these kids grow up for many years; I love how well they've turned out. Decent to the core; respectful, kind, pleasant, plus very intelligent and knowledgeable.  The oldest son earned a Master's Degree while still a teen-ager, and Marie just passed the CPA exam in one attempt.  They're all homeschooled ---  imagine that! (As much as they hate the attention, I have to say "Well done, Dr Dennis & Michelle!"). To God be the glory!
