I am back in Southern California after a quick trip to Missouri.  While 
there we looked at I think ten properties in all (I lost count in the 
blur).  In the end we bought a place that was not on any RE agents 
list.   The owner had talked to me about buying it several times in the 
past several years.  He wanted to sell then he did not.  I thought it 
was not available until one day as I was gasing the car he drove up and 
we talked.  He gave a price, we arranged to meet. and I bought it.

It is everything we wanted except the house is smaller that we wanted 
but that can be fixed.  It is 80 acres, with a year round stream on the 
backside, mostly wooded with a piece in the center selectively logged 
six years ago.  The house is two bedrooms one bath with a beautiful full 
length porch.  The shop is 32 by 32 with 10 ft lean-tos on each side, 
one is a pull through, both are enclosed on three sides.

It is located about the middle of Ozark County about 15 miles north of 
Gainesville.  Neighbors are people I have known and socialized with for 
several years now and are all good people.  Mow for the hassle of moving.
