The Balmoral Castle
Ater a whole year in Fort Collins, a home purchase is finally now in the works.
The saying goes that "A man's home is his castle". Accoding to the Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins, this saying is as old as the basic concepts of English common law.
"You are the boss in your own house and nobody can tell you what to do there. No one can enter your home without your permission. The proverb has been traced back 'Stage of Popish Toys' (1581).
In 1644, English jurist Sir Edward Coke (1552-1634) was quoted as saying: 'For a man's house is his castle, et domus sua cuique tutissimum refugium' ('One's home is the safest refuge for all').
While a bit more modest than the Balmoral home shown above, the house that we are buying at 2830 Balmoral Drive in Fort Collins will nevertheless provide a refuge free of a landlord where we can once again settle in, make some improvements and call home.
If all goes well, the transaction will close and we will take posession on May 9th.
Additional details and photographs can be found on Stan's blog.
I am quite ready for this.
