Our Rental Home!


So, here's a picture of the house we will be renting in Sumas, Washington! It is 1 mile from the Canadian border, and about 25 minutes of "the most beautiful drive" to work. Jim went out there yesterday and picked raspberries and blueberries and ate them right off of the vine. Apparently, blueberries are actually sweet. Who knew. The ones we get always make our faces pucker. For more pictures and info, go to http://www.astonisher.com/rentals/4bd.html
The home has been around since the early 1900's and is situated on land that has treehouses and forts built by generations of children. The view on a clear day is of the Canadian Rockies, and even though the town only has 1,000 people, there is a Costco within 1 mile! (Costco began in Kirkland, Washington, so there are a lot of them around!)
The elementary school is a short walk across a field that we can see from the upstairs master bedroom. (There is a downstairs master also) The boys are going to love it!!!!!!!
Let me know what you think!

What a wonderful house! It looks like something you'd want for a vacation on the farm! I love that it's from 1916...4 years older than our old house in Denton (I miss that old place!). I hope you have all your raspberry and blueberry recipes ready.

I laughed at your blueberry pucker comment. I just bought some and I was thinking the same thing...aren't blueberries supposed to be sweet??
