The Search is On!!!
February 2007
Currently seeking acreage that will be suitable for farm and
home use!!!!
I am actively searching and are hopeful that I will find a
tract as more
Real Estate is listed during the spring & summer months.
If you have been considering selling acreage, or know of
someone that may be interested in selling
a tract of acreage in the Putnam County, TN area - please
reach us by following the "Contact Info" link.

Still looking!! I scour the new real
estate guides as soon as they hit the shelves. I also find myself driving
the back roads of Putnam County looking for "the place" and hoping to find some
out of the way jewel with a "For Sale" sign stuck right out front for me to see.
April 2007
We've found a parcel of land that we're interested in. Although it isn't
quite as large a tract as I'd initially hoped to find, this parcel has plenty
of potential to be the new home of a small equine rescue. Keep your
fingers crossed!!

Back to the drawing board... for many reasons. More updates to follow.
October 2007
Dare I say it? ;) I don't want to jinx this one, lol. Updates
to follow very soon..............
**November 2007**
I closed late October on a home with acreage!! We take possession of the
home in mid-November. This property was once used to run cattle - it is
mostly fenced & already has an older barn in place. There will have to be
a lot of 'clean-up' work done (bush hogging, re-stretching fence, etc.) as the
place is overgrown and in need of some maintenance work. Lots of work
ahead to get ready for the rescue, but it's getting there.
Check back for further updates. (PS - Please see the updated "Volunteer"
page!)
**June 2008**
Where to begin? The new house & acreage was in worse disrepair than
initially thought. The clean-up process seems to regularly reveal more
work that will have to be done. Diligent clearing & repairing of fences,
property & barn have kept us busy but pressing issues with the
condition of the house have also demanded attention. For all the things
still to be done, noteworthy progress towards opening the rescue has been made,
giving me a much needed second wind.
