Photography Show at Green Sage in Asheville

My travel photography has found its way into Green Sage coffee shop in downtown Asheville. So if you’re in the area stop by and have a look. It will be up until July where it will be moved again into the Lobster Trap restaurant.

I Might buy a House!


I haven’t been posting Chronicles lately because I’ve been busy looking for a house and I’ve finally found a good one. I've put in a bid and I'm set to close on the 26th of June. The house is little (around 500sq. ft.) but it has a full basement and sits on about a quarter acre of property. It’s inside Asheville city limits, but the dead end road it’s on is quiet…except for the trains that will rumble by on the tracks that aren’t too far away. I think this house will suite me well.

I’ve attached some of the pictures that were listed with the house. When I move in, I’ll take some of my own. I’ve been waiting, and bargaining, and probably even insulting people with my low offers for months now, but it’s finally paid off with this very good deal. Since I’m a first time homebuyer I’ll be getting $8,000 from Uncle Sam and with interest rates really low my mortgage isn’t bad either. Yep, this is a good time to buy and I’m excited to finally own my own home.
