Bananas in the backyard
Thanks to all of you who told me the right house would find us, it did -- yesterday -- and today we are officially under contract.
What sealed the deal for me: the combination of location (within walking distance of downtown Safety Harbor) and charm (terrazzo floors and lots of beadboard trim).
What sealed the deal for Gary: the extra space (it's three bedrooms plus a study) and the price (it was $30,000 less than anything we'd seen).
What sealed the deal for Colter: a banana tree in the backyard with almost-ripe fruit on it that the seller told us makes great smoothies.
We are one happy family.

WOOOHOOO! Congrats to you and your fam!
