Unbelievable

Remember how I waited almost a year, and a few weeks before it was to mine.
Owner #3 paid the back taxes. So I did not get the farm I had hope for.

Well New story with same place.
Tuesday my friend called with grapevine news.
She said so and so said it was burnt to the ground a few weeks ago.
I really did not believe a stone house could be destroyed
Sure all the wood parts.
So hubby went to look and came back yep it was set on fire.
I did not want to see it.
But for some reason yesterday. I thought I could handle it.
So we went around the corner and then made a left.
Look there is smoke.
This it a street, that has allot of fires?
Because the mobile home 2 or so places before it burnt to the ground last year.

No it was just people burning brush off the front of the yard.
But look at what is left of the farm.
This had to be a set fire. The was no electric or gas.
This had to be set. with a gas of some sort.
There is no damage to the surroundings.
Other than maybe tree scorch.

In this photo you can see a yellow tape on the ground. I assume police tape.
We did not get out of the truck and look up close. but the big tree is either weathered or scorched. I can see at least 2 BBQ propane tanks on the ground.
I looked up court records and found on the day I was to be the new owner.
There was a law suite that was dismissed, owners 2& 3 were trying to get owner #1 out of control of the property.
So my conclusion is since #3 owns the property and can not step foot on it.
I would lay odds he torched it.

My friend jumps to the conclusion that If I would have got the property it would have still happened with me in it.
I do not believe this would have happened.
But it was good that we did not get it. Hubby said there goes my dream home.
I told him it was not the house. I loved the stones. They are still there. I loved the front porch it is still there. It was the location. and the feel in the yard and it is still there. But I am not rich and would not want to have to build. So it is no longer of intrest to me as I wanted a home. Even with all the work it took to make it mine.

But the moral of this story is. Things happen for a reason. And it was best I did not get it.
Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.
