    First she wanted to move, now she doesn’t? To be fair, it is a lot to start from scratch, but I would say she is the one that started this whole ball rolling in the first place. She needs to make up her mind one way or the other.

    My parents moved into a new house located next to a forest preserve. Deer would walk right down the street. They loved it until they started to eat all outdoor plants etc. Plus they carry ticks. Not so great after all.

    I’m liking this arc; it’s like real life in that it takes time and much consideration to move. To Janis this is like starting all over again, when she only wants something convenient to move into. For Arlo, it is appealing to move into something completely new and forge ahead. They just have different styles. Even for folks who’ve been together a long time, it is a big decision to move to another state.

    Arlo, as soon as land clearing and construction began, the deer would begin moving out.

    We live in the second largest city in Oregon and we’ve had deer in our yard. There’s also a gang of turkeys that have visited, no Canada geese though fortunately.

    The high water table in a rural area near the coast means putting in a well might be easy, but putting in a septic tank might be a nightmare.

    My folks moved to the Hill Country of Texas, west of Austin many years ago. They had about 10 ac of land and lots of deer in the area. They were cute, they were magical, they were hungry. They wiped out her garden. She put up a 5ft fence, Pfft! the deer jumped it. By the time she was done she had an 8ft fence with a wire roof, because raccoons can climb fences. We took to calling it ‘Stalag 13.’ The next year she didn’t grow a garden. I think it was watching a Tarantula migration cross their property that did her in. Nature wins in the end. . .

    Think hard before saying, “If we were twenty years younger.” You don’t know how old you will get to be, and remember, up until recently Jimmy Carter was still building homes.

    Before Hurricane Ivan blew down most of my trees, I would come home and see four or five deer under my Chestnut trees eating the chestnuts. They would look up when I came up the drive, realize it was just me, and go back to eating. It was quite pleasant.

    They are still around, but my front yard isn’t cleared up and load as well as it was back before I had to deal with all those trees down. Go ahead

    What’s age got to do with it? They’re not planning on raising a kid, just finding some stimulation in a new environment. Being in a rut is the enemy of wise aging.

    Deer are a pain. They eat all the landscaping, and then run out in the road and get hit.

    Don’t have to live all the way out in the sticks to see wildlife. I live about a half mile from the outskirts of town. Back when I worked the night shift, I’d occasionally see a deer or two on the road in late summer early fall. They’d sometimes come into the back yard to get at the neighbor’s small apple tree.

    Building a custom house is a tremendous amount of work, even if you have a good contractor. You have to decide everything: Layout, ranch, colonial, split level, how many bedrooms, how many stalls in the garage, basement or no? Then the 10,000 and one details inside: Paint or wallpaper, chair rails, carpeting, tile, on and on and on. I hope their marriage is strong because building even a small custom home will test that marriage to its limits.
