Near Katy Trail and a Near Miss



Remember this building? The unit was awesome! It was different and had lots of character. From the funky little balcony, to the original creaky hardwood floors. A second floor unit with almost 1500 square feet. Parking is on the first floor, through the garage doors, and at the back of the buildingis a large grassy, fenced area for the dog. Now, if we could simply transplant the building and unit to a better part of the city, we'd be all set! And, that was the drawback on this one.

 There are plenty of condos. on the market and they range in price greatly, so inventory is not an issue. I think we've narrowed down the buildings we prefer, and have even found a unit we especially like. It is a small one bedroom, one bath on the 5th floor. The current owner completely renovated the unit and did an amazing job. The kitchen is perfect, and the balcony........Here, take a look.

See what I mean??? Pretty cool! One thing that does not show up in the pictures and was a pleasant surprise is the little office tucked into a large entry closet. The unit has plenty of closets and storage, so the office was a great idea and who doesn't need space for a computer, books and a little clutter you can close a door on??
As to our near miss yesterday. Holy cow. We were almost home yesterday, driving around 30 mph, right hand lane with a green light. From out of nowhere and in front of the pickup truck to the left of us, came a little blue car, turning right in front of us. Fortunately, Henry's reaction time and quick thinking, he not only slammed on the brakes until the tires were squealing, he had to steer sharply left and then sharply right to avoid missing the car. What a crazy end to our mellow day. It would have been even worse though if we'd had hit the guy, because for sure our car would have been totaled, and more than likely someone would have gone to the hospital. Not to mention, it'd be fair to say, the guy probably had no insurance.
But, by the grace of God, and the quick thinking on Henry's part, all was okay.
