getting down to business

It's spring break, and I'm visiting Sam in Springfield. One of the many things on our list to do is find an apartment or house to rent for when I move here in the summer. In addition to searching through the newspaper, we drove around the good neighborhoods for a couple of hours, looking for "For Rent" signs. They were few and far between. If we were looking to buy a place, though, it would be a lot easier. Everything is "For Sale."

After the frustration of wandering around, we went to a friend's friend's house for a party. And what do they have in their backyard? A carriage house with a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment on top. They've already offered it to a relative, but if he doesn't take it, it's ours. Sometimes, it's just a lot easier to get lucky.
