Eye on the Future

So I am trying to figure out where to live if I end up moving. Should I rent a house or deal with an apt. for a year and try to bank some cash. Saving cash sounds very good, however apt. living sucks for the most part. One thing that is certain is no matter where I go washer and dryer must be included. Some many have washer/dryer connections as a feature. No that is not a feature. Put the things in the apt. or home and that is a feature.
I like the space a house offers and at least you do not feel so boxed in. But you spend more cash.
Heck no matter how much I get rid of I still will more than will fit into a 1 bedroom apartment.
Decisions.

A dear friend of my grandmothers and someone I knew fairly well as kid passed away this week.
Joseph Bella or Jo Jo was 82 years old and in good health. He was home alone and was working on a ladder. He fell off the ladder and hit his head on the concrete floor. When Lill, his wife, came home he was in the bathroom cleaning up. Lill called 911 and by the time they arrived he was unconscious. He never regained consciousness and was declared brain dead at the hospital. The family decided to let him pass on instead of being kept alive by machines. Jo Jo and Lill were married for nearly 55 years. One of his great passions was his gardens. When you went by the house the yard was full of flowers. In the back were veggies, apple trees and blueberry bushes.
May he rest in peace.

Off to get a coffee maker for my grandmother as a Xmas present. She has little one that works well but now that she is part of the breakfast club with a couple others in the park she needs a bigger pot. Then I am going to the bookstore and look at some baseball card price guides. I forgot I this pack of cards that was given to me a few years ago. I did some research last night and found out these are from 1950 and were sold at the Baseball Hall of Fame and some baseball stadiums. It seems that some may be quite valuable. If I send these in to get graded then they have to the potential to worth a whole bunch more. My only reservation is the cost of getting cards graded is expensive. It may well be worth it so I will use the bookstore as a library.
I figure at the least the set is worth $200 dollars and at the most several thousand.

Time for research.
