As many of you know for years Jerry and I have been planning to someday move up to Northern Idaho, Coeur D'Alene, ID. After a difficult and rough health year, for Jerry, we have decided it's time for Jerry "wind down" and retire. I was forced into early retirement when I was laid off in September, 2008, from my employer of 11+ years. After supporting Jerry through chemo therapy, having shoulder surgery myself we are now working towards downsizing (California) and preparation for moving sometime around this time next year. We decided to take advantage of the recession and purchase our home now, while prices are down. It doesn't make sense for me to try to find a job in California. Unemployment at a record high and trying to compete with the younger people and the competition also looking for a job. I will wait until we have found a home in Idaho, have numerous garage sales getting rid of 30+ years of accumulation and Jerry needs to dig into the boat port, his garage and all the other places Jerry finds to hide his treasures (aka junk). We are planning to head up to Coeur D' Alene the 1st of July and actually physically look at properties. In the mean time, I am looking on the Internet, Jerry and I are carefully reviewing the properties and Joni and August are going with our agent to preview the properties and report back to us. There are a few properties that we have really liked, but there have been things we didn't like so we continue to look.
